Little research attention has been given to understanding deeper, higher-order relationships between the antecedent attitudes toward and perceptions of organ donation and registration behavior. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p> To test a process model useful for understanding the sequential ordering of information necessary for moving college students along a hierarchical decision-making continuum from awareness to support to organ donor registration. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design and Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p> The University of Wisconsin organ procurement organization collaborated with the Collegiate American Marketing Association on a 2-year grant funded by the US Health Resources and Services Administration. A total of 981 association members responded to an online questionnaire. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p> The 5 antecedent measures were awareness of organ donation, need acknowledgment, benefits of organ donation, social support, and concerns about organ donation. The 2 consequence variables were support for organ donation and organ donation registration. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Structural equation modeling indicated that 5 of 10 direct antecedent pathways led significantly into organ donation support and registration. The impact of the nonsignificant variables was captured via indirect effects through other decision variables. Model fit statistics were good: the goodness of fit index was .998, the adjusted goodness of fit index was .992, and the root mean square error of approximation was .001. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p> This sequential decision-making model provides insight into the need to enhance the acceptance of organ donation and organ donor registration through a series of communications to move people from awareness to behavior. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.7182\/pit2012792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,13]],"date-time":"2012-11-13T03:39:47Z","timestamp":1352777987000},"page":"323-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Sequential Decision Framework for Increasing College Students' Support for Organ Donation and Organ Donor Registration"],"prefix":"10.7182","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"James W.","family":"Peltier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (JWP, AJD), University of Wisconsin-Madison (AMD), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (THF)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony M.","family":"D'Alessandro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (JWP, AJD), University of Wisconsin-Madison (AMD), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (THF)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Dahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (JWP, AJD), University of Wisconsin-Madison (AMD), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (THF)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas Hugh","family":"Feeley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (JWP, AJD), University of Wisconsin-Madison (AMD), University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (THF)"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-pit2012792","unstructured":"US Department of Health and Human Services.
