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."

"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."
