Brief Summary:
DESIGN This pilot study utilizes a mixed-methods approach to develop a novel docu- drama communication strategy design WhatsApp intervention evaluate the feasibility of a larger pragmatic randomized controlled trial RCT of the two communication strategies and assess acceptability of the communication strategies aimed to increase blood donation among first-time blood donors within the catchment areas of the Southern Zonal Blood Centre SZBC in Ghana In sequence this pilot study and larger RCT are grounded in the PRECEDE-PROCEED implementation science framework The pilot study has four components 1 a qualitative component will be used to design a docu-drama 2 key informant interviews to guide intervention development 3 a simultaneous randomized pilot trial will evaluate the feasibility of the larger trial design of communication interventions using WhatsApp compared to control and 4 a final mixed- methods quantitative survey and focus groups assessment of participant views of acceptability effectiveness feasibility and cultural appropriateness of the two proposed communication interventions
OBJECTIVES The three objectives of this pilot study are the careful design of a novel docu- drama communication intervention and WhatsApp intervention evaluation of the feasibility of a larger RCT of communication strategies and assessment of participant views of the two proposed communication interventions and control among first time blood donors within the catchment areas of the SZBC
For the purposes of registration for clinicaltrialsgov only the randomized pilot trial communication interventions using WhatsApp compared to control is reported
The planned sample size for the pilot RCT is n128 first-time blood donors
The study population for the pilot RCT is first-time voluntary non-remunerated blood donors VNRBD and familyreplacement blood donors FRD from the SZBC catchment area
REGIMEN WhatsApp Participants assigned to the WhatsApp group will receive weekly messages developed by communication specialists aimed to motivate blood donation be encouraged to discuss their blood donation experiences and share their own motivations for donating blood in a moderated closed group over a six-month duration The moderator will provide guidelines on acceptable use of WhatsApp in the group including images they can or cannot share Participants will also receive standard NBSG communications for first-time donors
Control Participants in this group will receive the standard NBSG communications for first-time donors 1 a thank you phone call and 2 and a reminder phone call two-weeks prior to the second blood donation eligibility The second blood donation eligibility is four months after the first donation
