Blood donations by populations from the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa are a public health necessity for reasons of genetic polymorphism. This article aims to determine whether blood donors' social characteristics ? i.e. greater socio-economic integration and a strong sense of citizenship ? constitute deterrents to blood donation among foreign populations. Results show that donors from the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa are not better integrated than non-donors from the same areas. However, blood donors express a significantly greater sense of citizenship than non-donors. Donors from the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa feel a greater sense of citizenship than non-donors from the same areas. The study of blood donation in these categories of population has two major implications. In biological terms, blood donation by foreign populations constitutes a response to transfusion needs. In cultural terms, blood donation is used by populations from the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa as an active means of expressing their sense of citizenship.
出于基因多态性的原因，来自马格里布和撒哈拉以南非洲地区人群的献血是一项公共卫生需求。本文旨在确定献血者的社会特征，即更高的社会经济融合度和强烈的公民意识，是否会成为外国人群献血的阻碍因素。结果显示，来自马格里布和撒哈拉以南非洲地区的献血者并不比来自同一地区的非献血者有更好的融合度。然而，献血者表达出的公民意识明显比非献血者更强。来自马格里布和撒哈拉以南非洲地区的献血者比来自同一地区的非献血者有更强的公民意识。对这些人群类别中献血情况的研究有两个主要意义。从生物学角度来看，外国人群的献血是对输血需求的一种回应。从文化角度来看，来自马格里布和撒哈拉以南非洲地区的人群将献血作为表达其公民意识的一种积极方式。
