Understanding the accuracy of self\u2010reported IS is helpful for potential application of IS practices to donor eligibility or donation intervals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Successful whole blood and red cell apheresis donors completed a survey at donation on the use of select dietary supplements. Respondents reporting use of either iron pills (IP) or multivitamins (MV) were invited by email to complete a similar follow\u2010up survey 6\u20138\u2009weeks later and to provide the quantitative iron content of IS by referring the donor to the pill bottle label. Consistency between baseline and follow\u2010up responses was assessed overall and by pill type and demographic variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 2444 donors answering the baseline survey, 40% (978) reported MV or IP at donation, 354 of whom completed the follow\u2010up survey. A majority of survey respondents (56%\u201361%) reported taking iron across the two surveys, and 21%\u201324% took MV but were uncertain if their pills contained iron. Of 215 reporting IS at baseline, overall concordance at follow\u2010up was 68% and was higher for donors who were female, \u226550\u2010years old, and taking iron as an iron pill rather than in a multivitamin.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Consistency of donor responses may be insufficient for use in guiding donor eligibility. Referring donors to their pill bottles was unsuccessful in improving the high frequency of uncertain responses. Incorporating IS into donor eligibility determinations is a complex endeavor that will benefit from careful planning and from post\u2010implementation monitoring.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.17235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]],"date-time":"2023-01-06T10:19:34Z","timestamp":1673000374000},"page":"470-475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Validity of donor\u2010reported iron supplementation practices obtained at the time of donation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7261-1236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren A.","family":"Crowder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Affairs American Red Cross  Rockville Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ritchard G.","family":"Cable","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Affairs American Red Cross  Farmington Connecticut USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9008-9154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bryan R.","family":"Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Affairs American Red Cross  Dedham Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.15448"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.15133"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2011.03401.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2010.02865.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","unstructured":"United States Food and Drug Administration.Requirements for blood and blood components intended for transfusion or for further manufacturing use.
