Impact of a human interest video on living-donor kidney donation rates.
Forty-five potential living donors participated in this study to see if a human interest video featuring living donors and recipients who had been through the transplant process would increase living-donor donation rates and knowledge about living-donor organ donation. While neither donation rates nor knowledge achieved statistical significance, the data clearly demonstrated a clinically significant (clinically relevant) increase in donation rates.
