title: Self-administered blood donor medical history.
abstract: An experiment in self-administered blood donor medical histories is described. This history, reviewed by a medical history nurse, was not associated with more rapid donor processing. Donors and medical history nurses reacted positively to self-administration. The quality of the medical history did not appear to be affected by the procedure. The findings suggest that there is value in the self-administration process, and that further trial is warranted.
