Increasing\n VNRD<\/jats:styled-content>\n is paramount to achieving a safe, reliable blood supply, and understanding the population is a strategy suggested by the\n WHO<\/jats:styled-content>\n to inform donor recruitment and education.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Participants in Barbados (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009429) completed a self\u2010administered questionnaire in 2014. The questionnaire comprised 31 questions, including demographics (age, gender, highest educational attainment) and blood donation\u2010related knowledge, attitudes and practices. Analysis of variance,\n t<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010test and linear regression were used to analyse data.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 53% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009219) of participants had previously donated blood; almost half were family\/replacement donors, and over one\u2010third (36\u00b72%) were lapsed donors and had not donated within the past 2\u2009years. Knowledge deficits included blood donation requirements, deferral factors and maximum yearly donations. Most participants (79%) were willing to donate with more information. Participants with higher educational attainment and previous donors had higher total knowledge and attitude scores (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090\u00b701). Single, female and younger participants were less likely to donate blood (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090\u00b705).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Barbados can likely increase voluntary blood donation rates by addressing knowledge deficits through education campaigns and increasing awareness of the need for donation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tme.12359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,16]],"date-time":"2016-09-16T01:23:16Z","timestamp":1473988996000},"page":"415-421","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards blood donation in Barbados"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6389-2865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
