This study compared African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, and White Americans on their intentions to enroll in a state organ donor registry and to talk with family about organ donation. The overall results showed that attitudes and subjective norms from the theory of planned behavior were significantly related to intention to enroll whereas perceived behavioral control was not. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control were significantly related to intention to talk with family. The differences among ethnic groups were small, but the relationship between attitudes and intention to enroll was stronger for Asian Americans and weaker for African Americans than for White Americans. The implications of these and other findings are discussed for organ donation campaigns.
本研究比较了非裔美国人、亚裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民和白人对加入州器官捐赠登记册以及与家人谈论器官捐赠的意愿。总体结果表明，计划行为理论中的态度和主观规范与登记意愿显著相关，而感知行为控制则不相关。态度、主观规范和感知行为控制与与家人交谈的意愿显著相关。族群之间的差异很小，但态度与登记意愿之间的关系在亚裔美国人中更强，在非裔美国人中比在白人中更弱。对这些发现和其他发现的意义进行了讨论，以促进器官捐赠运动。
