Brief Summary

Older Hispanics (age 50+ years) are disproportionately overrepresented on the transplant waitlist, but underrepresented as deceased donors and transplant recipients. This application proposes the formative research to design and empirically test an eLearning module, Promotoras de Donación, to train community health workers (i.e., Promotoras), who already provide culturally and linguistically sensitive services to their communities, to discuss and promote organ donation with older Hispanic women in 3 geographically distinct communities across the U.S. The proposed intervention leverages the established and evidence-based Promotoras program to increase rates of donor designation within Hispanic communities across the U.S. and reduce disparities in access to transplantation for this population.

Single Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

The Promotoras de Donación eLearning module will be launched and 40 participating lay health educators trained. Access to the module will be provided via a link to the website embedded in an announcement email. To assess the impact of the Promotoras de Donación eLearning module on lay health educators' knowledge of organ donation and the need for Hispanic donors, and confidence communicating about donation and promoting the act of donor registration, participating lay health educators will complete a brief online survey upon enrollment (pre) and after completing the module (post). Then, trained lay health educators will hold at least 2 small group sessions with mature Latina (6-8 per session); in all, 80 sessions are anticipated with 480 to 640 mature Latina. Participating mature Latina will complete anonymous paper-pencil surveys before and after each session to assess changes in attitudes toward organ donation and donor registration and intent to register as posthumous organ donors.

Behavioral: Health Promoters and Organ Donation

Interventions

Promotoras de Donación is a highly engaging and interactive online learning experience, that accommodates multiple learning styles by incorporating a variety of pedagogic approaches. The module consists of two components: a didactic educational component and a skills-based communication component. The didactic component provides basic information about organ donation and transplantation and the need for donors in the Hispanic community, and addresses concerns about donation commonly held by older Latina. The skills-based component provides instruction on the key communication skills needed to effectively engage small groups in discussions about organ donation. This component is intended to build communication self-efficacy or confidence opening the discussion about donation, addressing concerns raised by mature and older women participating in the small group sessions, and promoting the act of donor registration using persuasive, but non-coercive language.

Intervention Model
SINGLE GROUP
Model Details: The study includes focus group interviews with mature Latina and Promotora to inform the development of a web-based educational and communication intervention, as well as an evaluation of the intervention using a nonrandomized, quasi-experimental pragmatic design, pre-post only with no control group to test the impact of the eLearning module on lay health educators' knowledge of organ donation and confidence holding discussions about and promoting organ donation. Additionally, we will examine the impact of the Promotoras de Donación intervention, which will engage trained lay health educators to lead small group sessions with mature Latina, on the women's attitudes about organ donation and donor registration, and rates of donor registration.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Anonymized data will be made available for use by written request to the Principal Investigator. Specifically, focus group and survey data collected from lay health educators and mature Latina will be shared in ways in which participants' privacy and confidentiality are secured. Any identifying information in the data will be redacted before sharing. In an effort to provide further protection from the deductive identification of participants, parties requesting data will be asked to agree to use the data solely for research purposes, to refrain from identifying participants in any manner, to secure the data electronically through encryption and/or password protection, and to return or destroy the data upon completion of the analyses.
