A Web‐based approach to blood donor preparation

BACKGROUND: Written and video approaches to donor education have been shown to enhance donation attitudes and intentions to give blood, particularly when the information provides specific coping suggestions for donation‐related concerns. This study extends this work by comparing Web‐based approaches to donor preparation among donors and nondonors.
