Student Blood Donation Willingness Survey in Eastern Ghana, 2025

2,200 students participated in a cross-sectional survey from July to August 2025, conducted by Foster Amponsah-Manu. The dataset likely contains responses on demographic characteristics, donation experience, knowledge, and sociocultural and logistical factors influencing voluntary blood donation willingness.

Use Cases

• Predicting student willingness to donate blood based on demographic and knowledge factors mentioned in the description.
• Identifying key logistical barriers (e.g., waiting times, location convenience) to improve donation service design.
• Analyzing the association between cultural/religious beliefs and donation behavior.
• Modeling the impact of different incentive types (e.g., free health check-ups) on donation rates.

Strengths

• Dataset includes responses from 2,200 students, providing a substantial sample size.
• Analysis results, including specific adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for key factors, are documented in the description.
• Data collection used a structured questionnaire with defined categories (demographic, knowledge, sociocultural, logistical).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects a specific geographic (Eastern Region, Ghana) and temporal (July-August 2025) context, which may limit generalizability.
