Information Collection Request Title: National Survey of Organ
Donation Attitudes and Practices (NSODAP) OMB No. 0915-0290--Revision
with changes.
Abstract: The overall purpose of this study is to conduct an
independent multi-mode (web and telephone) survey of public opinion
regarding various issues related to organ donation. The survey will
measure public opinion on issues such as willingness to become an organ
donor, financial incentives for donation, living donation, impediments
to donation, and level of public knowledge about donation. Previous
NSODAPs were conducted during 1993, 2005, 2012, and 2019. Similar to
the 2019 survey, the goal is to complete 10,000 interviews with adults
(18 years of age or older) nationwide. Specifically, this will include
1,000 equal-probability of selection method computer-assisted telephone
interviewing (CATI) interviews, 1,000 ethnic oversamples CATI
interviews, and a supplemental web panel of 8,000 respondents. The
final sample will include 1,000 interviews each with Black/African
Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans, and a statistically
sufficient sample for meaningful comparisons across demographic levels
of age group, education, and income groups. A total sample of 10,000 is
necessary to achieve sufficiently large subgroups for statistical
analysis across demographic groups.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Division of
Transplantation, within the Health Systems Bureau of HRSA at the
Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary federal entity
responsible for oversight of the solid organ and blood stem cell
transplant systems in the United States and for initiatives to increase
organ donor registration and donation. Sponsorship of a national survey
on the American public's donation attitudes and practices is one of the
services that the Division of Transplantation provides for the larger
donation community, consistent with its legal authority to establish a
public education and awareness program (section 377A of the Public
Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 274f-1).
Patients in need of organ transplantation in the United States face
a longstanding critical shortage of organs. Approximately 103,000
Americans were on the waiting list for transplantation by the end of
2022, but only 42,000 transplants were performed, only meeting two-
fifths of the national need. While this represents an increase in the
number of transplants performed in 2021, the organ shortage remains in
the United States. Understanding public attitudes about organ donation
and how the attitudes change over time is critical to addressing organ
shortage through public awareness and education efforts.
The information from this survey will facilitate appropriate
tailoring and targeting of donation outreach messages and strategies
and provide an overall assessment of the impact of previous outreach
messages and strategies. The data will also inform the development of
policies related to organ donation and transplantation.
Likely Respondents: A nationally representative sample of adults
over the age of 18 with a higher number of responses from populations
of interest such as racial-ethnic minorities, including African
American, Asian, Native American, and Hispanic respondents, as well as
respondents of all age groups and education levels.
Burden Statement: The modes of data collection are web surveys and
CATI interviews and include both landline and cell phones. Respondent
burden is minimized by having automatic data entry either
electronically by the respondent answering the online survey or by a
trained CATI interviewer for a telephone survey that includes no
additional requirements for respondents. The survey will capture only
the minimum necessary information for analysis and will take only about
22 minutes of the respondent's time for the CATI survey and 16 minutes
for the web survey. The questions are the same in both the CATI and web
surveys, but prior research experience by the contractor has found web
surveys take 25 percent less time to complete than the same survey
conducted via phone, because
[[Page 3410]]
respondents can read and click faster than a phone interviewer can read
survey questions.
Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a
collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on: (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
