This study is part of a developing statewide campaign to increase donation in the black community. Focus groups were conducted to validate information obtained from a market research firm's telephone survey. Among those surveyed, 86.6% indicated they were in favor of donation; 13.4% indicated they were not. The most common reasons for opposition were religious issues and unfamiliarity with the donation process. Among those who were in favor of donation, 65% were some-what likely and very likely to donate; 74% were somewhat likely and very likely to give consent for donation of a loved one's organs. When asked where they would expect to learn about donation, respondents overwhelmingly chose the medical community. Respondents also listed cultural sensitivity as a criterion for choosing who would handle the donation request. A campaign to address identified issues has been developed and will be implemented statewide.
