Identifying and overcoming barriers and facilitators to blood donation in young adults using the theoretical domains frameworks.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study applied the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to identify barriers and facilitators to blood donation among young adults in the UK. A total of 195 individuals (aged 18-29) completed an online survey covering 14 TDF domains, with non-donors offered the chance to register as donors. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that Knowledge, Beliefs about capabilities and Emotion were the most significant predictors of current donation status. Although nearly half of the non-donors expressed interest in registering as donors, only about a quarter completed the registration when provided with a link. The TDF proved to be an effective framework for understanding the psychological and behavioral factors influencing donation decisions. Based on these findings, targeted intervention strategies were suggested using the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW). These approaches emphasize digital engagement, aligning with the online behaviors and social influences that shape young adults' decision-making. Further research is needed to implement and evaluate these interventions, comparing their effectiveness against current NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) campaigns.
