We evaluated factors associated with a parental willingness to donate their child's organs. A twenty-one-question survey was administered to US parents with at least one child to measure organ donation acceptability and brain death beliefs using an online crowdsourcing medium, Amazon's Mechanical Turk Prime. We collected 425 surveys; 76% were willing to donate their own and 65% willing to donate their child's organs. Parents who agreed brain death was synonymous with death (47%) were 2.37 times more willing to donate. Compared with White respondents, Black (OR 5.27, CI 2.81, 9.88) and Hispanic (OR 2.24, CI 1.06-4.75) participants were more likely to believe doctors "steal organs from patients" and "declare someone dead based on their skin color" (OR 4.97, CI 2.65-9.32; OR 2.19, CI 1.01-4.72, respectively). Lower income participants were also more likely to believe doctors "steal organs from patients," OR 0.81 (95% CI 0.68-0.96 for increasing income) and "declare someone dead based on how much money they have," OR 0.80 (95% CI 0.67-0.96 for increasing income). Confusion surrounding brain death and skepticism (particularly among racial and ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic groups) toward doctors' motivations for donation contribute to lack of parental willingness to donate.
