What Makes Non‐Directed Living Kidney Donors Tick? Actionable Items to Increase Non‐Directed Live Organ Donation
We identified six potential action items: (1) Identify pools of receptive individuals who participated in other altruistic behaviors and/or identify as religious. (2) Outreach to individuals who came forward as directed donors, but whose intended recipient was successfully transplanted with a kidney from another donor. (3) Promote stories of those who need organ transplants or whose lives have been changed by transplantation. (4) Promote NDDs as resources for potential NDDs. (5) Educate interested kidney NDDs about liver and uterus transplant programs. (6) Decrease financial barriers to donation.
