Study Overview
Brief Summary
Investigators will evaluate organ donation educational videos with a 2x3 single blinded Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in partnership with our 26 Latino Owned Barbershops (LOBs). The testimonial video about Uncontrolled Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (uDCDD) with an uplifting ending will serve as control. Experimental videos may include live uDCDD footage, differing endings, or combinations. Video production will be informed by the entertainment education model and produced with experts including an Academy Award winning filmmaker. The primary outcome is whether participants immediately enroll in the NY State Organ Donor Registry (either online or by our RA mailing in the official form with prepaid postage). Investigators hypothesize that each video will induce differences in registration compared to the control and that there is an interaction effect with video genre and story outcome.
