A Culturally Competent Approach to Exploring Barriers in Organ Donation Consent Among Haitian Immigrants: Formative Focus Group Findings and Implications

Abstract  

African Americans consent to donation less often than whites, have fears and misconceptions about donation specific to their
cultures, and wait longer to receive transplants when the need is identified. However, there is less detailed empirical data
on the transplant needs and barriers for Haitian immigrants. This paper describes focus group results designed to identify
culturally grounded beliefs, attitudes, and barriers to organ donation. Results were used to design and implement the “Bay
Lavi” (Give Life) campaign designed to raise awareness and increase organ donation consent among Haitian Immigrants.
