Popis: Background. Expansion of vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation depends on the public’s willingness to donate VCA organs, including face, extremities, and genitourinary organs. This study evaluated the effectiveness of video messaging on VCA donation willingness in US military veterans, a key stakeholder in VCA transplantation. Methods. Participants (n = 556) were randomized to 1 of 3 VCA video messaging interventions (informational, testimonial, or blended), a general (non-VCA) organ donation video message, or a control (nondonation) video message. Questionnaires were completed at pre- and postintervention and at 3-wk follow-up. Results. Veterans exposed to any VCA video messaging were more likely to express VCA donation willingness (69%, n = 203/296) than those exposed to general donation messaging (53%, n = 47 of 89; P = 0.006) or No Donation Messaging (37%, n = 36 of 97; P
