Abstract
The blood donation process is usually very safe, and blood donors are comfortable during the blood donation procedure; however, blood donors occasionally experience various types of adverse reactions during or at the end of blood donation. Some of these reactions are very minor while blood donors sometimes experience serious reactions as well. This study aims to analyze the various types of adverse reactions experienced by the blood donors. The study conducts detailed analysis on a significant amount of real data collected through a blood organization in the southern part of the United States and provides the results regarding the frequency and types of adverse reactions based on multiple attributes such as age, gender, and donation type.

Summary
Blood cannot be produced artificially, so it is very crucial that voluntary donors are safe and feel comfortable when donating blood. Blood donation procedure is normally very safe and tolerable for blood donors, occasionally blood donors experience various types of adverse reaction during or at the end of the blood donation (Assarian et al, 2011). Blood organizations usually recruit donors all the time. Adverse reactions can affect the recruitment and retentions of blood donors negatively (Eder, Notari IV, & Dodd, 2012). Donor satisfaction is very important to retain donors and due to adverse reactions, donors may not want to revisit (Custer et al, 2012). The Appendix displays the summary of various adverse events or symptoms experienced by blood donors for blood donation (Working Group, 2014)
