Factors associated with organ donation in Filipino Americans: results from Hawai'i's Bayanihan Project.
Results from mailed surveys (n = 424) showed that 28% of adult Filipinos were a designated organ donor on their driver's license. In logistic regression analyses respondents who were born in the United States were 3.5 times more likely to be a designated donor compared with foreign-born Filipinos. Future programs should emphasize the need for Filipinos, especially immigrants, to become organ donors.
