People make decisions every day, both for themselves and on behalf of others. In the case of organ donations, despite the opt-out systems used in Singapore where the default is a presumed consent on the part of the individual, the actualized donation rate is lower than expect. This is partially because family members are called in to make surrogate decisions on behalf of the patient, especially patients near brain death or have been certified to be brain dead.
To address the shortfall in organ donations, the investigators plan to run three studies:
The studies have the potential to improve actualized organ donation rates, as well as to inform the medical community in their communication with family members.
