Notably, of donors with hypertensive range readings, 45% reported no known history of hypertension. After reading the hypertension pamphlet, 63\u00b79% of donors found it valuable, while 38\u00b79% did not. Furthermore, 67% of donors said they were likely to use the information they learned, while 23% of donors said they were unlikely to do so.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>An opportunity exists for increasing hypertension awareness during blood donation. Additionally, our findings indicate that an educational pamphlet at the time of donation is valuable to donors. Overall, these findings suggest that increasing hypertension awareness as part of a blood donation screening is not only needed but also useful as a public health measure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tme.12286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,21]],"date-time":"2016-03-21T06:30:01Z","timestamp":1458541801000},"page":"89-98","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Is blood donation an opportunity for hypertension awareness?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Hao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"McAvoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Wickberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Kerrigan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Kreiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Sikavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Swift","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Frenette","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northern New England Region American Red Cross Blood Services"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Carney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine University of Vermont"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
