The influence of race on approaching families for organ donation and their decision to donate.
American Journal of Public Health 1999 Februrary
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether patients' race was associated with their families' being approached for organ donation and agreeing to donation.
METHODS: Logistic regression models were applied to data collected from records at 112 hospitals.
RESULTS: The odds that a family of a White patient was approached for donation were nearly twice those for a family of an African American. The odds of donation also differed by race, but the magnitude varied by patient and hospital characteristics.
CONCLUSIONS: Much attention directed toward racial disparity in donation has focused on attitudes of the public. The behavior of hospital staff also may be related to differences in rates.
