✕Probably not a fit
People who do not work or train in the Alsace region or members of the general public with no healthcare role are unlikely to benefit directly from this survey's results.

What this trial studies
This observational survey will ask current healthcare workers and students in Alsace, France about their training, knowledge, attitudes, and experience related to organ donation. Participants will include a range of professions (doctors, nurses, anesthetists, midwives, dentists, therapists, and support staff) and students in those programs. The project collects self-reported data on prior education, perceived competence, misconceptions, and practical experience to identify gaps. Results will be analysed to highlight areas where additional education or support could improve donor identification and acceptance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could guide targeted training and awareness efforts that help increase organ donation acceptance and potentially lead to more transplants.
How similar studies have gone: Similar surveys of healthcare populations have previously found knowledge gaps and training shortfalls, so this approach is established though findings will be region-specific.
