Examining students’ intention to perform voluntary blood donation using a theory of planned behaviour: A structural equation modelling approach

Objective This study aims to examine the behavioural intention of students to make voluntary blood donations. Moreover, it uses a theory of planned behaviour as its guiding principle and does so within the context of Malaysia, a developing nation. Methods Data were collected via a self-administer...
