'If you needed a transplant, would you have one?': How researchers are trying to recruit more organ donors


 
EDMONTON --
Eight out of 10 Canadians who support organ donation say they are willing to give the gift – but only three in 10 actually sign up.
It's a point researchers say is particularly useful in recruiting donors.
For example, more are willing to register when asked, "If you needed a transplant, would you have one?"
That's according to research by behavioral scientist and marketing professor Nicole Robitaille at Queen's University Smith School of Business, who studies the above discrepancy.
It's called the intention-action gap.
"A lot of times we have great intentions to eat healthier, save more money, and we just don’t follow through," Robitaille explained.
