从历史上看，少数族裔仅占美国献血者的一小部分，但最近的移民趋势和潜在的血液短缺强调需要采取招募策略来增加少数族裔的献血。我们分析了 2006 年美国六个血液中心网络的捐献数据。种族/族裔、出生国家和教育程度数据是专门为本研究收集的，并评估了它们对捐献行为的影响。使用逻辑回归来确定与重复捐赠者状态和年度捐赠频率的独立关联。我们研究了来自 729,068 名捐赠者的 1,288,998 笔捐赠；大多数捐赠者都有种族/民族（97.1%）和出生国（93.1%）的数据。少数族裔献血者的比例因血液中心而异，非洲裔美国人（16%）在东南部血液中心最常见，亚洲人（12%）、西班牙裔（13%）和外国出生的献血者（13%）在北加州血液中心最常见。少数族裔捐赠者以及出生在墨西哥或拉丁美洲的捐赠者比白人年轻。与白人和美国出生的捐赠者相比，少数族裔和非美国出生的捐赠者成为重复捐赠者的可能性较小（优势比为 0.60 至 0.78），并且大多数人每年捐赠 ≥ 2 次的可能性较小（优势比为 0.82 至 1.11）。与白人和美国出生的捐赠者相比，少数族裔和墨西哥/拉丁美洲出生的捐赠者代表了更年轻且通常是首次捐赠的人群，但他们的年度捐赠频率仅略低于白人和美国出生的捐赠者。增加少数民族的保留和献血频率对于补充血液供应具有重要意义。
Historically, minority populations represented only a small proportion of USA blood donors, but recent trends in immigration and potential blood shortages emphasize the need for recruitment strategies to increase minority donations. We analyzed donation data from a network of six USA blood centers for 2006. Race/ethnicity, country of birth and educational attainment data were collected specifically for the study and assessed for their influence on donation behavior. Logistic regression was used to determine independent associations with repeat donors status and annual donation frequency. We studied 1,288,998 donations from 729,068 donors; most donors had data on race/ethnicity (97.1%) and country of birth (93.1%). The proportion of minority donors differed by blood center, with African-Americans (16%) most common at the Southeastern blood center, and Asians (12%), Hispanics (13%) and foreign-born donors (13%) most common at the Northern California blood center. Minority donors and those born in Mexico or Latin America were younger than Whites. Minority and non-USA-born donors were less likely than Whites and USA-born donors to be repeat donors (odds ratios 0.60 to 0.78), and most were less likely to give ≥ 2 annual donations (odds ratios ranging from 0.82 to 1.11). Minority and Mexico/Latin America-born donors represent a younger and often first-time donor population compared to White and USA-born donors, but their annual donation frequency was only slightly lower than White and USA-born donors. Increasing the retention and donation frequency of minorities will be important for supplementing the blood supply.
