Sample of the study included 179 10th and 11th grade students in a Vocational High School and an Anatolian Teacher High School in Balikesir in Turkey in Fall Semester of 2011-2012 academic years. Data were collected with Organ Donation Attitude Scale consisting of 10 questions and Organ Donation Knowledge Questionnaire consisting of 5 questions.
