Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Few people realize that signing an organ donation card does not guarantee that organ donation will actually occur. The donor�s next-of-kin makes the final decision on whether to donate his or her organs�a fact that makes open communication between family members about the topic of organ donation crucial. Using a multi-instance approach drawing from both discourse and conversation analysis, this study seeks to understand what occurs during conversation between family members about organ donation through the analysis of twenty video-taped dyadic interactions. This analysis leads to the identification of three communicative techniques used by family members when communicating about organ donation�the scenario question, the real life report, and preemptive diffusion. These three tools by which individuals communicate about organ donation can be used in future endeavors to educate the public about talking to family members about the decision to donate, and are most likely applicable to social interaction beyond the topic of organ donation.
