Effects of new brochures on blood donor recruitment and retention.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Transfusion-associated Chagas' disease (TA-CD) is a worldwide problem. Measures adopted to prevent TA-CD include the clinical and serologic screening of blood donors and/or the inactivation of Trypanosoma cruzi present in collected blood, using gentian violet as the trypanocidal agent. This study investigate...
