Researchers form Centre for Social Psychology (UL FDV) in cooperation with several organizations, researched the social aspects of organ and tissue donation in Slovenia. With the research the authors tried to find ways to narrow the gap between organ demand and supply under the precondition that organ transplantation remains totally voluntary, depending on the willingness of people to donate their organs or the organs of their loved ones after death to others who need them. A pilot survey with the purpose of testing the questionnaire was conducted on population of members of the online panel JazVem.si of Valicon company, using the nonprobability sampling. The questionnaire was answered by the 1007 active members of the online panel, aged 18-75 years. The results of the research provide an informative insight into the issue of organ donation and guide further research activities within the framework of the project. The questions include the following topics: willingness to donate organs own, close ones), registration in the register of organ donors, conversation about organ donation, informing about organ donation after death, attitudes related to organ donation, opinions about the attitudes of others towards organ donation, familiarity with organ donation, religiosity and belief, campaign visibility.
