Numbers between () represent the number of responses. Data indicate the percentage of respondents who assigned the indicated rank to the corresponding consenting option. Wilcoxon signed ranks test: mandated choice vs. donor-only informed consent, p <0.001; mandated choice vs. donor-or-surrogate informed consent, p <0.001; mandated choice vs. presumed informed consent, p <0.001. Kendall’s W coefficient of concordance (comparing mandated choice, donor-only informed consent, or donor-or-surrogate informed consent each with the same option plus medical or financial incentives) was 0.077, 0.130, and 0.150, respectively (p <0.001).
