Approximately 22 people die each day in the United States as a result of the shortage of transplantable organs. This is particularly problematic among Spanish-dominant Hispanics. Increasing the number of registered organ donors can reduce this deficit.
The goal of the current set of studies was to conceptually replicate a prior study indicating the lack of utility of a lone, immediate and complete registration opportunity (ICRO).
The study, a quasi-experimental design involving a total of 4 waves of data collection, was conducted in 2 different Mexican consulates in the United States. Guided by the IIFF Model (ie, an ICRO, information, focused engagement, and favorable activation), each wave compared a lone ICRO to a condition that likewise included an ICRO but also included the 3 additional intervention components recommended by the model (ie, information, focused engagement, and favorable activation).
Visitors to the Mexican consulates in Tucson, Arizona, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, constituted the participant pool.
New organ donor registrations represented the dependent variable.
When all 4 components of the IIFF Model were present, approximately 4 registrations per day were recorded; the lone ICRO resulted in approximately 1 registration every 15 days.
An ICRO, without the other components of the IIFF Model, is of minimal use in regard to garnering organ donor registrations. Future studies should use the IIFF Model to consider how the utility of ICROs can be maximized.
在美国，每天约有22人因可移植器官短缺而死亡。这在以西班牙语为主的西班牙裔人群中尤为突出。增加器官捐赠登记人数可以减少这一缺口。
当前这组研究的目的是从概念上重复之前一项研究，该研究表明单独的即时完全登记机会（ICRO）没有效果。
该研究采用准实验设计，共进行4轮数据收集，在美国的2个不同墨西哥领事馆开展。以IIFF模型（即即时完全登记机会、信息、重点参与和积极激活）为指导，每一轮都将单独的即时完全登记机会与同样包含即时完全登记机会但还包括该模型推荐的另外3个干预要素（即信息、重点参与和积极激活）的条件进行比较。
亚利桑那州图森市和新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基市墨西哥领事馆的访客构成了参与者群体。
新的器官捐赠登记为因变量。
当IIFF模型的所有4个要素都存在时，每天记录约4次登记；单独的即时完全登记机会每15天约有1次登记。
没有IIFF模型其他要素的即时完全登记机会在获取器官捐赠登记方面作用极小。未来的研究应使用IIFF模型来考虑如何使即时完全登记机会的效用最大化。
