Various interventions are reportedly effective in promoting organ donor registration. However, the identity of those who best serve as presenters to appeal to the general public is not known. A campaign for organ donor registration was conducted through a local newspaper advertisement in Japan. The advertisement appeared in 439,733 copies of the newspaper on January 9, 2021. In addition to the main message, 6 different presenters with photos of their faces and quick response codes were listed in the advertisement, namely a urologist, transplant physician, nephrologist, dialysis physician, ophthalmologist, and kidney transplant recipient who was a nephrologist himself (ie, a recipient and nephrologist). Newspaper readers watched each video about deceased organ donation via the quick response codes, and the number of video views acquired 30 days after the appearance was the main outcome, which was assessed using YouTube analytics. The proportions (95% CI) of people who watched each video among 439,733 newspaper readers were compared among the 6 presenters. The analyzed videos were viewed 262 times. The video produced by the recipient and nephrologist had the highest number of views among the 6 presenters (proportion: 0.019% [95% CI, 0.015-0.023]), followed by the one produced by the dialysis physician (0.011% [95% CI, 0.008-0.014]), the nephrologist (0.010% [95% CI, 0.007-0.014]), the urologist (0.008% [95% CI, 0.006-0.012]), the transplant physician (0.006% [95% CI, 0.004-0.009]), and the ophthalmologist (0.005% [95% CI, 0.004-0.008]). The appeal by the recipient and the nephrologist reached the highest proportion of people who watched the video about deceased organ donation in Japan.
