[Problems of insufficient number of voluntary blood donors among student youth population in Belgrade].

The study included 71,918 individuals (70,093 Belgrade University students, 1,325 individuals that donated blood once, 500 individuals that donated blood from 5 to 100 times). The following results of the study were obtained: among voluntary blood donors in Belgrade, in 1991, only 1.02% were students; students comprise 1.66% of the first blood-donor-population; in 1990 among multiblood-donors-population (>5 donations) 1.44% were students; during 1991/92 school year among secondary school pupils there were 14.62% blood donors, that is 1.333% more compared to the group of university students; every fourth secondary school pupil continued to donate blood during his/her university studies. A programme for the formation of the Students voluntary blood donor assocation in all university schools in Belgrade, is also presented.
