Project Donor: A National Intervention to Improve the Health of Potential Living Donors
These results indicate that with sufficient resources and support, some potential donors can achieve eligibility for donation through lifestyle interventions. While a high dropout rate and lack of a control group limit the generalizability of this study, we demonstrate how lifestyle interventions for living donors can be implemented at scale. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether programs like Project Donor could increase the number of living donations.
