Donor authorizations tend to be especially low among African Americans and other minority and ethnic groups. This study assessed and compared the beliefs, attitudes, and rates of participation regarding organ donation among a sample of racially and ethnically mixed university students. A 64-item survey questionnaire regarding organ/tissue donation issues was administered to 683 undergraduate students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds at a state-assisted university in the Midwest. The findings from the study indicated that African-American students differ significantly from white students in their attitudes and beliefs toward organ donation, while Asian-American, Hispanic, and international students were similar to white students in their attitudes and beliefs regarding organ donation. However, a greater percentage of African-American students have granted permission for organ donation compared to African Americans in the general population.
在非裔美国人以及其他少数族裔群体中，捐赠者授权率往往特别低。本研究评估并比较了一个种族和民族混合的大学生样本中关于器官捐赠的信念、态度和参与率。一份包含64个项目的关于器官/组织捐赠问题的调查问卷，被发放给了中西部一所州立辅助大学的683名来自不同种族和民族背景的本科生。该研究的结果表明，非裔美国学生在对器官捐赠的态度和信念上与白人学生有显著差异，而亚裔美国学生、西班牙裔学生和国际学生在对器官捐赠的态度和信念上与白人学生相似。然而，与普通人群中的非裔美国人相比，有更高比例的非裔美国学生已经给予了器官捐赠许可。
