the blood donor pool in Ghana: a pilot randomized
controlled trial
A mixed-methods pilot study to develop a novel docu-drama
communication strategy, design WhatsApp messaging, evaluate
the feasibility of a larger pragmatic randomized controlled
trial of three communication strategies and assess
acceptability of the communication strategies aimed to
increase blood donation among first time blood donors within
the catchment areas of the Southern Zonal Blood Centre in
Ghana. This pilot study and future larger pragmatic
randomized controlled trial are grounded in the
PRECEDE-PROCEED implementation science framework.
