简要总结
Four aims were pursued: (1) Evaluate the effectiveness of video messaging on adolescent donor designations in comparison to a regionally-matched historical comparison group of adolescents; (2) Compare the differential effectiveness of three commonly-used donation messaging strategies (informational, testimonial, and blended) on donor designations; (3) Examine the impact of donation messaging on changes in secondary outcomes (donation engagement, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, likelihood of donor designation, discussion with a parent) before and after video intervention; and (4) Assess the commitment of parents to follow their adolescent's donation wishes in the event of death. Our central hypotheses were that integrating donation video messaging into driver education classes would generate a higher proportion of donor designations compared to a historical comparison group and that blended video messaging (informational + testimonials) would yield a higher proportion of donor designations and more change in secondary outcomes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Testimonial Messaging
This video features four personal testimonials with strong emotional appeal, including an adolescent kidney transplant recipient, a pediatric liver transplant recipient, a young adult kidney transplant candidate, and an adolescent whose twin brother was a deceased organ donor. There are minimal facts about transplantation or donation.
干预措施: Organ Donation Education: Testimonial Messaging (Behavioral)
Informational Messaging
This video mirrors common educational campaigns and included segments of HRSA's animated video, Organ Donation and Transplantation: How Does it Work? The IM video presents facts about donation, including the current supply-demand problem in transplantation, common reasons for/against donor designation, donation myths, and the importance of communicating with parents about donation. Information about how to register as a donor is also included. The video contains no personal testimonials.

结局指标
主要结局
Organ Donation Registration
时间窗: 6 months
The primary outcome was donor designation (yes-no) at time of obtaining first driver's license post-intervention. We provided the name, date of birth, last four digits of social security number, residential address, and study identification number of each adolescent to the Massachusetts DoT, which then returned to us a data file containing the donor designation status for each study identification number. For the regionally-matched historical comparison group, the DoT provided a de-identified data file of all adolescents who obtained their first driver's license in the six months prior to study enrollment at six motor vehicle offices.
