Community attitudes to remunerated blood donation in Australia: results from a national telephone survey

Feasibility of a Health‐Utility Approach to Quantifying Noneconomic Losses from Personal Injury

“…Sample selection was based on noninterlocking quotas corresponding to several characteristics (age group, sex, and state/territory of residence) that were intended to match the demographic characteristics of the adult Australian population. Prior research has demonstrated that the use of even a small number of such quotas in Internet survey samples can help ensure that the samples are representative of the general public on a much wider range of demographic characteristics (Bambrick et al ).…”

“…The overall response rate among all OzPanel members who received an initial invitation to participate in the survey was 45 percent. However, the method of sampling and recruitment we used does not permit calculation of a standard response rate because of the variability in recruitment and follow‐up strategies across subgroups (Bambrick et al ). We began with firm targets for each questionnaire, aiming for a broadly representative sample on age, sex, and state.…”

Nuts and bolts of transfusion medicine: the supply of blood and quality of the products

“…In a telephone survey of over 1000 randomly chosen adults in Australia, Bambrick & Gallego () examined attitudes to remunerated blood donation. The results confirmed that the great majority of those surveyed would not favour substantial payment for the act of donating.…”

Institutionalizing Voluntary Blood Donation: Explaining the Cross-National Variance in the Approval of Paid Blood or Plasma Donation in Europe

“…Many current studies on attitudes toward incentives (including monetary payment) for blood donation have not paid specific attention to context (e.g., Bambrick & Gallego, 2013;France et al, 2022;Glynn et al, 2003;Jones et al, 2003;Kasraian & Maghsudlu, 2012;Mews, 2013). The central aim of this article is to address this knowledge gap by examining the institutional forces that moderate the attitudes of individuals toward donor payment.…”
