Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: In 2015, assisted reproductive technology (ART) accounted for 1.7% of all U.S. births, donor eggs accounted for over 17,000 started cycles in 2015, and donor sperm accounting for 6.2% of all cycles started in 2014. With increasing utilization of donor gametes as a method of assisting patients with infertility, the number of babies born each year utilizing gamete donation will also continue to increase. This study aimed to elucidate factors impacting decision to donate, amongst a representative national population.
METHODS: A survey was distributed via the internet utilizing SurveyMonkey Enterprise with HIPAA compliance. Univariate regressions and frequencies were conducted between each demographic and personal characteristic and the willingness to donate. Log Binomial and linear regression was used categorical and continuous variables, and Risk ratios were calculated.
RESULTS: In this large survey study, 64% of men and 50% of women reported they would be willing to donate gametes, with the majority desiring monetary compensation. Men with a high Consumer Financial Protection Bureau score were less likely to report that they would consider donating sperm compared to a medium high CFPB score. No other financial indicators were associated with considering donating sperm. There were no associations between CFPB score and egg donation outcomes. Black or African American women were less likely to consider donating their eggs compared to other groups, and more likely to desire > $5000 in compensation.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large survey study, a small minority of participants reported they would be willing to donate to an unknown infertility patient for reproductive purposes. High and very high CFPB scores were associated with willingness to donate games, but not with desire for monetary compensation or amount.

摘要：
目标：2015年，辅助生殖技术（ART）占美国所有新生儿的1.7％，供体卵子占2015年开始周期的17000多个,供体精子占2014年开始周期的6.2%.随着供体配子作为一种辅助不孕症患者的方法的利用越来越多，每年利用配子捐赠出生的婴儿数量也将继续增加。这项研究旨在阐明影响捐赠决定的因素，代表全国人口。
方法：使用符合HIPAA的SurveyMonkeyEnterprise通过互联网分发了一项调查。在每个人口统计学和个人特征与捐赠意愿之间进行单变量回归和频率。对数二项式和线性回归用于分类和连续变量，并计算了风险比。
结果：在这项大型调查研究中，64%的男性和50%的女性表示他们愿意捐赠配子，大多数人希望得到金钱补偿。消费者金融保护局得分高的男性不太可能报告他们会考虑捐赠精子，而CFPB得分中等。没有其他财务指标与考虑捐赠精子有关。CFPB评分和卵子捐赠结果之间没有关联。与其他群体相比，黑人或非裔美国女性不太可能考虑捐赠卵子，更有可能想要>5000美元的补偿。
结论：在这项大型调查研究中，一小部分参与者报告说，他们愿意捐赠给一个未知的不孕症患者用于生殖目的。高和非常高的CFPB分数与捐赠游戏的意愿有关，但不希望获得金钱补偿或金额。
