Produktbeschreibung
The worldwide need for transplantable organs continues to increase. Over 100,000 people are on the waiting list in America alone. This groundbreaking book introduces the realm of organ donation and provides wide-ranging examples of successful theory-based interventions across real-world situations. With contributions from scholars and professionals actively working in this field, and reporting on the very latest developments, this volume provides a concrete example of how evidence-based, translational research functions in a real-world nascent field, with life or death outcomes. Understanding Organ Donation is an invaluable resource for organ donor professionals, applied social psychologists, health psychologists, and policy-makers, as well as professors and students in health communication who are interested in theory-based research in real-world contexts.

Rezensionen
"This work represents thousands of hours of effort in theunderstanding of individual decision-making and the promotion ofpositive outcomes in organ donation. The variety of approaches usedwith different populations in different settings that have beenfound to be more or less effective based on sound field-basedresearch and evaluation is the hallmark of this work. Practitionerscan get great insight into promoting better health behaviors andthe greatest human to human gift of all and researchers can getgreat insight into the complexities of conducting research andevaluation in the messy real world."
--J. Jackson Barnette, Colorado School of PublicHealth, University of Colorado Denver

"Over a relatively short period of time, a relatively smallgroup of dedicated professionals have sought to accomplish a greatpurpose...to eliminate deaths on the transplant waiting list. Thisbook chronicles the breadth and depth of their research intochanging human behaviors which in many cases have never beenstudied, or even fully described, before. As such, it is awonderful contribution to an ever-growing field still pursuing theultimate goal of eliminating deaths on the waiting list."
--Jeffrey P. Orlowski, Chief Executive Officer, Centerfor Donation and Transplant, Albany, NY, USA
