AB  - This study sought to compare demographics and donation motivations among 
      plasma/platelet donors (PPDs) and whole blood donors (WBDs), in a voluntary and 
      non-remunerated context. Motives to donate blood and demographic characteristics 
      were collected through questionnaires completed by 795 WBDs and 473 PPDs. 
      Comparison of WBDs and PPDs under chi-square tests showed that 17 out of 23 
      motivators were statistically different according to various demographic 
      variables. These results demonstrate the existence of specific donor profiles 
      both for WBDs and PPDs. Agencies should develop new recruitment strategies 
      tailored to these donors, especially if they wish to convince WBDs to convert to 
      apheresis donation.
