Transplantation direct 8, Issue: 10Journal Article
Expansion of vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation depends on the public's willingness to donate VCA organs, including face, extremities, and genitourinary organs. This study evaluated the effectiveness of video messaging on VCA donation willingness in US military veterans, a key stakeholder in VCA transplantation. Participants (n = 556) were randomized to 1 of 3 VCA video messaging interventions (informational, testimonial, or blended), a general (non-VCA) organ donation video message, or a control (nondonation) video message. Questionnaires were completed at pre- and postintervention and at 3-wk follow-up. Veterans exposed to any VCA video messaging were more likely to express VCA donation willingness (69%, n = 203/296) than those exposed to general donation messaging (53%, n = 47 of 89; = 0.006) or No Donation Messaging (37%, n = 36 of 97; < 0.001). A significantly higher proportion of participants who received Blended VCA Messaging were willing to be VCA donors, compared with the Informational VCA Messaging group (79% versus 61%, = 0.006). Each VCA messaging video resulted in a significant pre- to postintervention increase in the proportion of participants willing to donate their own face, hands, and legs ( < 0.03). Brief educational videos focused on VCA transplantation can have a demonstrable and verifiable impact on rates of VCA donation willingness in veterans.
