SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: National Survey of Organ
Donation Attitudes and Practices, OMB No. 0915-0290--Revision.
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
National Survey of Organ Donation Attitudes and Practices 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 or African
Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and American
Indian/Alaskan Natives, 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.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on January 18,
2024, vol. 89, No. 12; pp. 3409-3410. There were no public comments.
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 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, which only meets two-
fifths of the national need. While this represents an increase from 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
policy 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 Black or
African American, Asian American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and
Hispanic/Latino American respondents, as well as respondents of all age
groups and education levels.
Burden Statement: 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.
