Comparing web-based video interventions to enhance university student willingness to donate organs: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The efficacy of video interventions to increase organ donation willingness remains unclear.

Methods

Three-arm web-based randomized controlled trial involving 2261 students at 3 northeastern Ohio universities. Intervention students watched a live-action (n = 755) or animated (n = 753) donation video. Control students (n = 753) viewed wellness information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The primary outcome was proportion of students who visited their state electronic donor registry to consent. The secondary outcome was intervention quality. Logistic regression assessed the effects of interventions on visiting the state registry to provide donation consent while controlling for baseline variables.

Results

Students in the live-action
