Article Synopsis
- - A study involving 2,261 students tested the effectiveness of live-action and animated videos on increasing willingness to register as organ donors, compared to a control group that viewed CDC wellness information.
- - The results showed that students who watched the live-action video were significantly more likely to visit their state donor registry than those who watched the CDC material, while the animated video did not show a notable difference in participation.
- - Despite the live-action video's success in prompting action, it received lower satisfaction ratings compared to both the animated video and the CDC text, suggesting a need for future research to identify effective components of organ donation interventions.
Article Synopsis
- * Patients who viewed the video were significantly more likely to consent to organ donation (22%) compared to those who did not watch it (15%) and also initiated discussions about organ donation with their providers (77% vs. 18%).
- * Satisfaction levels regarding time spent with providers were similar between both groups, suggesting that the video intervention did not negatively affect patient-provider interaction quality.
Background: The gap between the supply of organs available for transplantation and demand is growing, especially among ethnic groups.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a video designed to address concerns of ethnic groups about organ donation.
Design: Cluster randomized, controlled trial.
Understanding community-based processes for research ethics review: a national study.
Am J Public Health
December 2011
Objectives: Institutional review boards (IRBs), designed to protect individual study participants, do not routinely assess community consent, risks, and benefits. Community groups are establishing ethics review processes to determine whether and how research is conducted in their communities. To strengthen the ethics review of community-engaged research, we sought to identify and describe these processes.

The impact of a classroom intervention was examined in a multicultural high school population where students' ethnicities were 45% African American, 30% Asian American, and 33% Caucasian (allowing for multiracial choices). A baseline survey was administered to all health classes within two wk prior to intervention.

CBPR with its underlying values challenges us to expand the traditional framework of ethical analysis to include community-level and partnership-oriented considerations. This special issue considers ethical considerations inherent in CBPR, presents examples of how communities have created their own processes for research ethics review, and identifies challenges CBPR teams may encounter with institution-based research ethics committees.

Objective: To solicit advice from 4 Asian American communities on the design of a culturally appropriate educational campaign on organ donation and transplantation.
Design And Setting: Cross-sectional, multilingual survey administered at community festivals and supermarkets.
Purpose: To explore ethnic and gender differences in willingness to donate organs among teenagers and determine factors associated with those differences.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 883 students attending health science class at nine inner-city high schools in Seattle, Washington. Knowledge and personal experience regarding donation and transplantation, willingness to donate on an ordinal scale, and student demographics were measured.
