The technology is becoming available in low- and middle-income countries \, but the gap between the demand for and the supply of organ transplants r emains large. In a randomized controlled trial at a Tunisian university\, w e evaluate an expert-led intervention designed to inform about organ donati on and strengthen trust in medical institutions. We find that the intervent ion significantly increases deceased organ donor registration among treated students. There is evidence for positive spillover effects on the control group. The survey data provides little support for changes in attitudes and social expectations as potential mechanisms. Instead\, it reveals large an d statistically significant increases in medical and legal knowledge\, reli gious beliefs supportive of donation\, and institutional trust among treate d students. Finally\, we show that family attitudes strongly predict the ac tual decision to register as a donor. Targeting older segments of the popul ation may further increase the impact and cost-effectiveness of this interv ention.\\n\\nContact: Arthur Guillouzouic: arthur.guillouzouic-le-corff[at ]univ-amu.frFederico Trionfetti: federico.trionfetti[at]univ-amu.fr\n\nPlu s d'informations: https://amse-aixmarseille.fr/en/events/christina-sarah-ha user-0 LOCATION:Îlot Bernard du Bois - Salle 16\, AMU - AMSE\, 5-9 boulevard Maur ice Bourdet\, 13001 Marseille URL;VALUE=URI:https://amse-aixmarseille.fr/en/events/christina-sarah-hauser-0 CONTACT:Arthur Guillouzouic: \;arthur.guillouzouic-le-corff[at]univ-amu .frFederico Trionfetti: \;federico.trionfetti[at]univ-amu.fr TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
