Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and generalizability of a communication intervention (Communication Effectively about Donation (CEaD)) for Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) staff requesters and to compare two conditions of delivering the CEaD. The experimental design will test: (1) the overall efficacy of the intervention on timely referral and consent for organ donation and (2) whether a completely autonomous condition (no outside training assistance) is clinically equivalent to the assisted condition (training provided by outside consultants) in terms of the final outcome of consent to donation.

Primary Outcome

OPO requesters completed a brief, web-based survey after every family approach, regardless of whether the family ultimately consented to donation. Rates of baseline and post-intervention consent to donation were compared. Due to the repeated measures design of the study and the high turnover rate among requesters, the number of participants in the post-intervention arms will not sum to those in the corresponding pre-intervention tenure level.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Assisted CEaD Condition
  • BEHAVIORAL Autonomous CEaD Condition
