    • Main Results:

    • A significant reluctance exists within BME communities to discuss organ donation post-mortem.
    • Prevalent misconceptions link religious teachings to prohibitions against organ donation.
    • Lack of culturally sensitive information exacerbates hesitancy.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing misconceptions about religious views on organ donation is crucial.
    • Open and culturally sensitive conversations about end-of-life choices can improve donation rates.
