Changing policies has consequences for donor recruitment and the donor pool. In this study, we investigated whether MSM are eligible and willing to donate blood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Members of a research panel (n\u00a0=\u00a04422) in the Netherlands were invited to participate in an online survey. We asked questions about male\u2010to\u2010male sex and risk behavior that are also asked during the predonation screening of a blood donor. Furthermore, we asked questions about willingness to donate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The total response rate was 60% (n\u00a0=\u00a02654). Of MSM nondonors (n\u00a0=\u00a0230), 32.2% would be eligible to donate under a 12\u2010month deferral policy, according to their reported risk history and last male\u2010to\u2010male sex. In other scenarios, 42.6% (4\u2010month deferral), 38.7% (6\u2010month deferral), and 18.7% (5\u2010year deferral) would be eligible to donate. When not taking their last male\u2010to\u2010male sex into account (n\u00a0=\u00a0203), 47.8% of MSM reported a moderate or high willingness to donate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 12\u2010month deferral after last male\u2010to\u2010male sex is a commonly used criterion by blood services. Approximately one\u2010third of the MSM in our study would be eligible to donate under this deferral policy. Higher proportions of MSM would be eligible to donate in shorter deferral scenarios. Almost half of MSM are willing to donate blood. Targeting MSM by donor recruitment campaigns could therefore prove fruitful.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.14469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]],"date-time":"2017-12-21T14:10:34Z","timestamp":1513865434000},"page":"710-717","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Eligibility and willingness to donate blood in men who have (had) sex with men"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Bas","family":"Romeijn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Studies Sanquin Research Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva\u2010Maria","family":"Merz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Studies Sanquin Research Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Sociology Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerjo","family":"Kok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Social Psychology Maastricht University Maastricht the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wim","family":"de Kort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Studies Sanquin Research Amsterdam the Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Social Medicine Academic Medical Centre Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"van Dongen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology University of New South Wales Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.298.20.2412"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2013.09.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1423-0410.2011.01506.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","unstructured":"FDA news release.
