520 3    |a Background: A significant gap exists between the number of Hispanics on the organ transplant waiting list and the number of Hispanics donating organs. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to construct and test a Spanish language instrument to measure the constructs of attitude, subjective norm and intent toward organ donation and then use the instrument collect data to test the predictive relationships between these. Philosophical Underpinning: The theory of reasoned action (TRA). Methods: Instrument development and testing resulted in a reliable and valid Spanish language instrument that was administered to a convenience sample of 98 Hispanics in the South Florida area. Results: Regression analysis found that 79.9% (R2 = .799, adj. R2 = .795) of the variance in the dependent variable was explained by the model and that the relationship was significant, F(2, 95) = 189.27, p = .00. Examination of the beta weights revealed that each of the predictor variables uniquely contributed to the model. Conclusion: The findings of this study support the theoretical relationship postulated by the TRA. Attitude and subjective norm are predictive of behavioral intention to become an organ donor among Hispanics living in South Florida,
