Semen donor recruitment: a study of donors in two clinics.
We report on a comparative study of semen donors at two London (UK) clinics which have different recruitment and payment policies. Results presented here include data on the demographic characteristics, motivations, means of recruitment and attitudes towards payments of the donors, as well as their disclosure to others about the donation. Donors from the two clinics were found to differ on the above points. Comparisons with other studies are made and implications for donors recruitment are discussed.
