Blood donation patterns of undergraduate students: Family and friendship correlates

Abstract

This study examined the responses of university undergraduates to two surveys dealing with various factors directly and indirectly related to the blood donation process. Questions assessed such factors as the number of family and friends who have donated blood, how many times the respondent might donate over a 1-year period given an accepted maximum of six, and the degree to which family members and close friends did influence donors and might influence nondonors to donate blood. The results suggest that both friends and, to a lesser extent, family members appear to have an impact on past, present, and future donation behavior.
