| description | Objective: This study was carried out to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice, and behavior (KAPB) regarding blood donation amongst students of higher educational institutes (HEIs) Method & Results: 7281 students from Higher Educational Institute in India were interviewed. Of these, 4667 (64.1%) had adequate (average and above average) knowledge of blood donation. Overall knowledge was better among male participants. From the sample, 2592 (35.6%) students had donated blood at least once while 4689 (64.4%) participants had never done so. From those who had not donated blood, 1841 (39.3%) did not do so due to lack of opportunity whereas 1630 (34.7%) did not have information regarding the same. Conclusion: The current study used the largest number of participants as sample, which also included international students. This study will help stakeholders in designing strategies to encourage non-donors to donate blood and the donors to donate on a regular basis. |
