The following request has been

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Increasing Donor

Awareness on College Campuses: New

Despite apparent widespread public

support for organ donation and

transplantation, few individuals in the

United States declare intent to be organ

and tissue donors. Innovative

interventions are necessary to help

individuals move from positive

attitudes about organ donation to the

behaviors of declaring intent and

informing family of that intent. The goal

of the current project is to develop,

implement and evaluate a donor

awareness program on college and

university campuses. The specific aim

of the study is to evaluate the effect of

a 6-month college-wide intervention

program on organ donation intentions.

An experimental design will be used

consisting of two pairs of colleges

matched on variables including

freshman class size, geographic region,

and cultural diversity of the student

body. The study will use a 2

(Intervention × Control) by 2 (baseline

and follow-up assessment) repeated

measures design. To increase donor

awareness, intervention schools will

receive a ‘‘how to kit’’ to aid them in

implementing a campus-wide donor

campaign. This kit will provide

materials and activities, and serve as a

guide for initiating an organ and tissue

donor awareness campaign. The kits

will be standardized across schools.

Donation intentions and other variables

of interest will be assessed by means of

self-administered questionnaires

completed by a sample of students at

each university at two time periods,

prior to and following the 6-month

intervention period. The frequency of

students declaring intent to donate

organs and documenting that intent via

college student identification cards or

donor cards is the primary outcome

measure. The frequency of students

reporting that they have informed

family members of their donation intent

also will be evaluated. In addition,

secondary and process outcomes (e.g.,

levels of readiness to become an organ

donor) will be assessed.

The estimated respondent burden is

as follows:
