Compared to men, women tend to seek more information and reframe this information for others. Because women are frequently central in family communication networks, they serve as a communication conduit for other family members and may influence others.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Involving key women decision makers in the early stages of the donation discussion and providing information elaboration build on women's central placement and role in family communication network processes.
