Health Promoters and Organ Donation
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Organ Donation, Donor Designation/Registration
In brief
Older Hispanics (age 50+ years) are disproportionately overrepresented on the transplant waitlist, but underrepresented as deceased donors and transplant recipients. This application proposes the formative research to design and empirically test an eLearning module, Promotoras de Donación, to train community health workers (i.e., Promotoras), who already provide culturally and linguistically sensitive services to their communities, to discuss and promote organ donation with older Hispanic women in 3 geographically distinct communities across the U.S. The proposed intervention leverages the established and evidence-based Promotoras program to increase rates of donor designation within Hispanic communities across the U.S. and reduce disparities in access to transplantation for this population.
