Whole‐blood and plasma donor beliefs about the health impacts of donation and effect on donation frequency: A survey study
Many donors consider the relationship between donation and their physical health, although fewer consider the relationship with mental well-being. Mental health impacts were highly endorsed, while endorsement of physical health impacts was low. Findings indicate a need to investigate how donors interpret health-related information provided throughout the donation process.
