增加器官捐献者的多样性可能会增加器官移植等待名单上的有色人种接受捐献器官的机会。我们报告了一个试点课堂健康教育计划的结果，以提高对器官捐赠和移植的知识，在一个不同的学生团体在城市高中MethodsThe教育计划的有效性进行了评估与基线和随访问卷调查，其中检查：1）该计划是否增加了有关器官捐赠的知识; 2）是否学生的意见改变了器官捐赠; 3）该计划是否与任何变化的opinion.ResultsOn随访问卷，正确回答15个事实问题增加了18%的治疗组，而对照组的5%（p=0.00）。关于意见，在基线时，92%的白色学生对捐赠有积极的看法，而有色人种的学生只有48%（p=0.00）。在后续调查中，有色人种学生的积极意见增加明显大于白色学生（p=0.04）。然而，在这项初步研究中，在治疗组和对照组的学生中，观点的变化发生的频率相同。
在回归分析中，这两个知识的主题和讨论捐赠与一个人的家人显着相关的积极意见donationsOverall，这项试点研究提供了令人鼓舞的证据表明，课堂健康教育计划影响有关器官捐赠的知识，以及有关器官捐赠的意见是响应知识的增加。
BackgroundIncreasing the diversity of the organ donor pool might improve the opportunities for people of color on organ transplant waiting lists to receive donated organs. We report on the results of a pilot classroom health education program to improve knowledge about organ donation and transplantation among a diverse student body at an urban high school.MethodsThe effectiveness of the educational program was evaluated with baseline and follow‐up questionnaires which examined: 1) whether the program increased knowledge about organ donation; 2) whether the students’ opinions about organ donation changed; and 3) whether the program was related to any changes in opinion.ResultsOn the follow‐up questionnaire, correct answers on 15 factual questions increased by 18% for the treatment group, compared to 5% for the control group (p=0.00). Regarding opinions, at baseline 92% of white students had positive opinions about donation, compared to 48% of the students of color (p=0.00). In the follow‐up survey, the increase in positive opinions among the students of color was significantly greater than among white students (p=0.04). In this pilot study, however, changes in opinions occurred with equal frequency among students in the treatment and control groups.
In regression analysis, both knowledge of the subject and discussing donation with one's family were significantly associated with positive opinions about donation.ConclusionsOverall, this pilot study provided encouraging evidence that the classroom health education program affected knowledge about organ donation, and that opinions about organ donation are responsive to increases in knowledge.
