BACKGROUND: Currently, donors may arrive at blood collection sites without prior knowledge of eligibility and deferral criteria.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The effects of distributing newly developed recruitment brochures 2 weeks in advance of blood drives and the provision of brochures on temporary deferral at the taking of health history were examined in four southeastern regional blood collection centers. Twenty-four similar pairs of worksites, with employee-only recruitment, were randomly assigned to a control (C) or experimental (E) group. Information about sponsor recruitment strategies, worksite factors, and first-time, repeat, and temporarily deferred donors was obtained at three collection drives per site over a 1-year period. Drive 1 was used as a baseline. Two weeks before Drives 2 and 3, the recruitment brochures were distributed to all Group E employees, with temporary deferral brochures provided as needed when the health history was taken.
RESULTS: No significant differences between groups or drives were found in the total percentage of employees recruited or returning as a result of recruitment or deferral brochure distribution (Wilcoxon's signed rank test and t test). Substantiating previous observations by donor recruiters, the study results showed decreased donations during vacation periods and busier times at the workplace. Loudspeaker announcements led to decreased donations; increased donations followed special appeals in relation to a specific patient, an accident, or a natural disaster.
CONCLUSION: The brochures may have encouraged previous donors to return, but their use did not significantly increase the recruitment of new donors or the return of temporarily deferred donors.
