From the analysis of the paired sample t-test, it shows that there is significant difference in attitude towards blood donation before donation (M=4.175) and after donation (M=2.625), t(39)= 6.386, p=.001. This result indicates that before the blood donation, the respondents feel the act would be painful. However, after the blood donation the respondents perception changes as they feel it is less painful.

*. The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.
From the one-way analysis of the variance (ANOVA) test, it shows that there is significant difference in attitude towards blood donation between three groups of neighbourhood composition of races among respondents. Subjects were divided into three groups according to their race (Group 1: Malay, Group 2: Chinese and Group 3: Mixed). Result shows that there is a significant difference at the p<.05 level in attitude towards blood donation activity scores for the three groups [F(2, 37)=5.037, p=.012]. Post-hoc comparisons using the Tukey HSD test indicated that the mean score for Group 1 (M=53.444, SD=5.261) was significantly different from Group 2(M=47.400, SD=5.320). As for Group 2 (M=47.400, SD=5.320), the score in attitude was significantly different from Group 1(M=53.444, SD=5.261) and Group 3 (M=55.118, SD=4.045)

**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). HO: There is no significant correlation between social awareness and intention to donate blood. Result: Reject HO. There is significant correlation between social awareness and intention to donate blood. From the Pearson’s Correlation, the result showed that there was a significant correlation between social awareness and intention to donate blood [r=.440, n=40, p<.005]. In other words, the result indicates that high score of attitude towards blood donation is associated with stronger intention to donate blood among the blood donors in this study.
