However, there is limited examination of whether differences exist between African American families that consent and those that do not.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n To examine if there are significant differences between African American families that consent to donation compared to those that do not.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A random sample of 120 African American potential donor cases from an academic medical center between 1997 and 2004 were included in this study. Variables of interest included next-of-kin relationships, family interactions, knowledge of donor wishes, family initiation of the donation discussion, and satisfaction with the donation process.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The data include 32 consent and 88 nonconsent cases. Compared to nonconsent cases, consent cases differed significantly in next-of-kin knowledge of donor wishes, frequent involvement of parents, and infrequent involvement of spouses. Donor wishes were known in 19% of consent cases but in none of the nonconsent cases. A parent was the dominant next-of-kin decision maker in 68% of consent cases, compared to 36% of nonconsent cases. A spouse assumed the dominant role in 29% of nonconsent cases but in only 6% of consent cases. Of these differences, wishes known, parental involvement, and spousal involvement were statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .000,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .002, and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = .013, respectively).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The results highlight the statistically significant differences between African American consent and nonconsent cases: knowledge of donor wishes and those involved in the donation decision. These results reinforce the importance of programs that encourage African American families to discuss donation with loved ones.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/152692480701700309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,10]],"date-time":"2017-01-10T18:01:15Z","timestamp":1484071275000},"page":"215-219","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["African American Consent and Nonconsent Cases: Are There Significant Differences?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Diane","family":"Dodd-McCue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Tartaglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/090591999800800305"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.84.2.314"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"2489","article-title":"Increasing African-American organ donation: The St. Louis experience","volume":"25","author":"Kappel DF","year":"1993","unstructured":"Kappel DF, Whitlock ME, Parks-Thomas TD, Hong BA, Freeman BK.
