Core Tip This study sheds light on Jordanian public knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation. Fortunately, our results showed adequate knowledge and favored attitudes toward organ donation, which could be invested to increase the number of organ donors. However, lack of awareness programs, inadequate understanding of brain death, fear of side effects, or fear of falling into organ trafficking may hinder organ donation practices in Jordan. We can create a more informed and willing society to participate in organ donation by implementing comprehensive education efforts through community outreach campaigns, school curriculums, and media campaigns to increase awareness about organ donation.
