Prior research identified a need for comprehensive and comprehensible public education materials. A 2-round Delphi panel was conducted to garner US expert consensus on the topics and language to include in public education materials via an organ procurement organization-hosted website. Methods: The round 1 survey assessed the importance of educational topics and statements ( n\u2009=\u200919) using 5-point Likert scales. The round 2 survey asked experts to rate new and repeated educational topics ( n\u2009=\u200927). Open-ended comment boxes elicited experts\u2019 feedback and language revisions for educational statements. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and rapid qualitative analysis. Findings: Eighteen experts responded to the round 1 survey and 15 to round 2. After round 2, 20 topics had mean ( M) importance greater than neutral ( M\u2009&gt;\u20093.00) and were retained in the educational materials. The 5 most important topics by mean Likert ratings were: consent process for donation ( M\u2009=\u20094.73), potential recipients ( M\u2009=\u20094.73), most common vascularized composite organs transplanted ( M\u2009=\u20094.47), purpose ( M\u2009=\u20094.47), and definition ( M\u2009=\u20094.47). Seven themes emerged from experts\u2019 open-ended comments about the importance and language of educational statements. Conclusions: Delphi panel findings identified expert-endorsed topics and educational statements for public education about vascularized composite organ donation via an educational website. Future research should assess the website's impact on public knowledge of VCA donation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15269248241268724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]],"date-time":"2024-08-02T19:34:25Z","timestamp":1722627265000},"page":"130-137","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Delphi Panel Study for Public Education about Vascularized Composite Allograft Donation in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4874-1679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Max C.","family":"Downey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolyn N.","family":"Sidoti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Ferzola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naomi","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Services and Outcomes Research, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hannah C.","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah E.","family":"Van Pilsum Rasmussen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen B.","family":"Vanterpool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorry L.","family":"Segev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carisa M.","family":"Cooney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura L.","family":"Kimberly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Hansj\u00f6rg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel S.","family":"Warren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ieesha D.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infinite Legacy, Organ Procurement Organization, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Brandacher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisa J.","family":"Gordon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4239-1252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Macey L.","family":"Levan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15269248241268724","unstructured":"OPTN. 2024.
