AAs are disproportionately affected by end-organ disease, particularly kidney disease, therefore, the need for transplantation among this population is high, and the high need is also observed for other solid organ transplantation. To this end, we worked with the AA community to derive an empirical framework of organ donation strategies that may facilitate AA decision-making. We used a cognitive mapping approach involving two distinct phases of primary data collection and a sequence of data analytic procedures to elicit and systematically organize strategies for facilitating organ donation. AA adults ( n\u2009=\u200989) sorted 27 strategies identified from nominal group technique meetings in phase 1 based on their perceived similarities. Sorting data were aggregated and analyzed using Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. Among 89 AA participants, 68.2% were female, 65.5% obtained\u2009&gt;\u2009high school education, 69.5% reported annual household income\u2009\u2264\u2009$50,000. The average age was 47.4\u2009years (SD\u2009=\u200914.5). Derived empirical framework consisted of five distinct clusters: fundamental knowledge, psychosocial support, community awareness, community engagement, and system accountability; and two dimensions: Approach, Donor-related Information. The derived empirical framework reflects an organization scheme that may facilitate AA decision-making about organ donation and suggests that targeted dissemination of donor-related information at both the individual-donor and community levels may be critical for increasing donation rates among AAs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00368504211029442","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,15]],"date-time":"2021-07-15T02:49:11Z","timestamp":1626317351000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cognitive mapping as an approach to facilitate organ donation among African Americans"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0220-8716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jayme E","family":"Locke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Transplant Institute, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4901-0619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rhiannon D","family":"Reed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, UAB, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard M","family":"Shewchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Professions, Department of Health Services Administration, UAB, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katherine L","family":"Stegner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, UAB, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Professions, Department of Health Services Administration, UAB, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00368504211029442","unstructured":"U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.
