TI  - An assessment of the effectiveness of the Mottep model for increasing donation 
      rates and preventing the need for transplantation--adult findings: program years 
      1998 and 1999.

AB  - The National Minority Organ Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP) 
      evaluated the effects of a community-implemented health education program for 
      adult members of minority population groups to affect attitude, knowledge, and 
      intent to change behavior. In addition, this study represents 1 of the first 
      major initiatives to formally address prevention as a strategy to contribute to 
      reducing the need for organ/tissue transplantation among minorities in the United 
      States. The study targeted students (youth) and adults representing different 
      ethnic groups (African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, Filipinos, Latinos, and Native 
      Americans) who attended health education presentations addressing organ tissue 
      donation, transplantation, and illness prevention in 15 different cities in 
      churches, schools, and other sites. A cross-sectional study that used 
      questionnaires was designed for collecting data from all participants. This 
      article presents data on the adult sample only. Preintervention and 
      postintervention data were collected from 914 adult participants to determine any 
      immediate effects of the intervention. By using data from matched sets of the 
      preintervention and postintervention questionnaires for all adult participants, 
      there were significant increases in (P < or =.000) trust in doctors, future plans 
      to become organ donors, and in participants' spiritual/religious beliefs about 
      organ/tissue donation. There was also a significant increase (P <.05) in 
      participants' awareness of the perceived need for organ/tissue donation. 
      African-American participants were significantly more likely (P < or =.000) to 
      report trust in doctors, future plans to donate organs/tissue, and perceive the 
      need for donation as a result of MOTTEP presentation. Caucasian participants 
      showed a significant increase (P < or =.007) in trust in doctors, perceived need 
      for organ donation (P < or =.05), and in shifting spiritual/religious beliefs 
      about organ/tissue donation (P < or =.02). Attitudes, knowledge, beliefs, and 
      behavioral intentions about organ/tissue donation and illness prevention can be 
      affected by culturally appropriate health education programs designed for 
      targeted population groups. Sustained changes in behavioral intentions toward 
      organ donation and illness prevention may require multiple educational 
      interventions in different community settings to increase donation rates and 
      improve behavioral health practices to prevent illness.
