Abstract
BackgroundThe primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an emotive educational video on organ donation intent in New York City. The secondary study objective was to determine if the educational video affected various factors associated with organ donation.MethodsNew York City residents were recruited via a crowdsourcing online platform and randomized to one of two groups, with exposure to viewing (1) an educational video before completing an 81 question survey on organ donation (“video first” condition) or (2) after completing the survey (“video last” condition). Logistic regression analysis compared organ donation intent (i.e., “how likely are you to become an organ donor”) between the two groups. Additional variables related to organ donation (e.g., religious beliefs, financial incentives) were also evaluated between the two groups. Analyses were adjusted for organ donation registration status.ResultsIn total, 1905 participants were randomized. We observed a statistically significant increased odds of organ donation intent among those randomized to the video first condition compared with those randomized to the video last condition (odds ratio [OR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.29 to 2.24). Differences regarding both educational effect on nondonors and racial differences such that there was a decreased odds of organ donation intent among those who identified as Black compared with those who were White (OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.92). Black participants were also more likely to report bodily integrity and differential treatment by doctors compared with White participants.ConclusionOur findings suggest that future interventions to increase organ donation registration among ethnically diverse populations could be effective if sufficient information is presented before decision making to addresses potential concerns.
