ABSTRACT
Summary. In a survey of attitudes towards remuneration for blood donation in Leeds, the following questions were completed by 489 adults (N), of whom 89 were regular donors, 105 were lapsed donors and 295 had never donated:‘If you needed blood, would you be content if the donor had been paid: yes/no’.‘If I were paid enough I would be less/equally/more likely to donate blood ’.The majority (67·7%) of potential recipients would be content if the donor had been paid. The prospect of remuneration made 16·4% of respondents more likely and 14·5% less likely to donate. As the difference is less than 2% of N, offering remuneration may not lead to a significant increase in the number of donations. A statistical comparison (χ2 = 45, d.f. = 2, P << 0·001) showed associations between the responses ‘more likely to donate if paid’ and ‘content to receive blood from a paid donor’, and between the responses ‘less likely to donate if paid’ and ‘not content to receive blood from a paid donor’. Age distributions are presented for the donor status categories and the responses to the main questions. Of 129 people who stated a minimum, nonzero payment that would persuade them to donate, 103 (80%) suggested £10 or less.
