“…Research clearly suggests that knowledge and awareness of the topic of donation and transplantation is associated with donation intentions [1,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Among African Americans in particular, studies using a composite measure of knowledge demonstrate that overall knowledge about organ donation is an important predictor of willingness to donate [6,26,[38][39][40][41].…”

“…It might be that knowing a transplant recipient is an example of consciousness raising, which is one of the ten theorized processes that have received the most empirical support. Several donation-related interventions were developed with the goal of consciousness raising [23,42,70,71]. For example, the Project ACTS: About Choices in Transplantation and Sharing intervention package includes a culturally-sensitive video in which living donors, donor families, and recipients talk candidly about their experience with donation and/or transplantation in order to create a personal connection.…”

Objectives-To explore the association between different types of knowledge related to donation and transplantation and the expression of donation intentions via one's driver's license, a donor card, or sharing one's wishes with family.Methods-Cross-sectional data were gathered via self-administered questionnaire from 425 Black adults, age 18 years and older who were recruited from nine churches in a large metropolitan area in the southeast United States.Results-Results indicate that knowledge of the allocation system and experiential knowledge of a transplant recipient are associated with donation intentions after controlling for age, gender, and highest level of education. However, the following types of knowledge were unrelated to donation intentions: donation-related statistics (including an understanding of African Americans' overrepresentation among those in need), the donation process, the process for determining medical suitability, and religious institutions' support for donation.Conclusions-Findings suggest that the relationship between donation-related knowledge and donation intentions is complex and may depend on the specific type of knowledge being measured.Practice Implications-Knowledge of the allocation system and experiential knowledge of a recipient may be critical aspects of the donation decision-making process. Research findings suggest the need for an educational approach that seeks to improve the specific types of knowledge that are most strongly associated with donation intentions.

“…Altruistic value scale was constructed using three statements adapted from Stern et al [104] and two statements taken from Boey [18]. The tenitem organ donation knowledge scale was constructed based on items taken from Sander and Miller [93], Spigner et al [103], Bardell et al [12], and Reubstaet et al [91]. The organ donation-perceived benefits scale was constructed using items taken from Yeung et al [119] and Kim et al [65].…”

First performed in 1954, organ transplantation is a universally practiced clinical procedure. This study uses ant colony optimization (ACO), radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), Kohonen's self-organizing maps (SOM), and support vector machines (SVMs) to examine the effect of various cognitive, psychographic, and attitudinal factors on organ donation. ACO, RBFNN, SOM, and SVMs are compared to a standard statistical method (linear discriminant analysis [LDA]). The variable sets considered are altruistic values, perceived risks/benefits, knowledge, attitudes toward organ donation, and intention to donate organs. The paper shows how it is possible to identify various dimensions of organ donation behavior by uncovering complex patterns in the dataset and also shows the classification and clustering abilities of machine-learning systems.

“…There are several limitations to the validity of this view. First, the studies cited in support of the authors' view were published in the period of 1990-2001 [21][22][23]. These studies focused on heartbeating (brain death) organ donation without mentioning non-heart-beating organ donation.…”
