African American adults are half as likely to donate blood than whites. In order to understand this difference, African American and white participants completed a survey regarding demographics, medical and donation history, and motivators and barriers. The most agreed upon motivators to blood donation were more convenient place and times, being asked and taking less than hour. Motivator responses which differed by race included donating for infectious disease test and reward, and assurance donating is safe. The most agreed upon barriers were not having a convenient place, not knowing where (response differed by race) and fear of needles, pain and feeling faint.
非裔美国成年人献血的可能性只有白人的一半。为了理解这种差异，非裔美国人和白人参与者完成了一项关于人口统计学、医疗和献血历史以及动机和障碍的调查。献血最普遍认同的动机是地点和时间更便利、受到邀请以及献血时间少于一小时。因种族而异的动机性回答包括为传染病检测和奖励而献血，以及确保献血安全。最普遍认同的障碍是没有便利的地点、不知道献血地点（回答因种族而异）以及害怕打针、疼痛和感到头晕。
