To address the core problem of insufficient safe blood supply for the country, targeting the lowest risk and most receptive population for consistent donation can be successful. The 2018 population census shows that the total population aged 15 to 24 is 3,687,521 out of which 1,905,165 (52%) are males and 17% (645,000/ 3,687,521) live in urban areas clearly showing the large blood donation potential for the country (National Statistical Office, 2019). The two studies conducted in the initial Year 1 and Year 2 of the Malawi BLOODSAFE Project (2020-2022) have provided rich information on temporal and geographical patterns of blood donation and transfusion transmissible infection as well as barriers and facilitators to blood donation. Using this information, we now propose to develop a comprehensive integrated school-based and post-school donation clubs to serve as a foundation that will encourage lifelong donation and improve the supply of safe blood in Malawi.

Purpose: This exploratory study aims to examine characteristics and patterns of victimization experiences and protective factors during youth through the life history calendar (LHC) method with a sample of young adults. Participants: This study will recruit 25 young adults (ages 18-24) who are of a racial or ethnic minoritized identity. Potential participants must also endorse experiencing at least two victimizations prior to the age of 18 that occurred over two months in duration and at least one victimization experience rated as having had a moderately severe impact on the individual. Procedures: Participants will retrospectively reflect on their victimization experiences (onset, duration, perceived severity of impact) and perceived protective factors during childhood and early adolescence (< 18 years old) through the completion of an LHC interview.
