Brief Summary: Purpose of the Study The study aims to understand how different messages can influence peoples decisions to become organ donors Researchers want to find out which types of messages are most effective in encouraging organ donation registration

Who Can Take Part Adults aged 18 and older who are eligible to register as organ donors can participate in this study

How the Research Will Happen Participants will be shown different types of messages about organ donation They will then be asked questions to see how the messages affect their willingness to register as organ donors The study will compare the responses to determine which messages work best

Benefits of the Study By identifying the most effective messages this study aims to increase the number of registered organ donors This can help save lives by making more organs available for transplantation
Detailed Description: Background

Organ donation is a vital component of modern healthcare offering life-saving opportunities for patients with end-stage organ failure Despite its importance the number of registered organ donors remains insufficient to meet the demand for transplants Previous research suggests that public perception and knowledge significantly influence the decision to register as organ donors This study aims to assess the effectiveness of different messaging strategies on organ donation knowledge attitudes and intentions among medical students

Objective

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge attitudes and intentions regarding organ donation among medical students The study also aims to perform a Confirmatory Factor Analysis CFA on the questionnaire used to assess these factors
