Official Title
Recruit Blood Donors Via SMS With Different Contents During Epidemic of COVID-19
Brief Summary

The fight against the spread of the 2019-nCoV epidemic has achieved some success in China, but the epidemic is far from over. A key factor making the epidemic under control in China is the government's call for social distance, which has led to few people going out for donation. As a result, the number of blood donors on the streets has been continuing to decline. Urgent recruitment of blood donors is therefore planned during the period from 30 April to 10 May via emergency recruitment SMS . This study has been designed to compare which information extraction frameworks would be more sensitive to blood donors in emergency situations.

different from the normal situation. To understand what information the blood donors are more
sensitive to in an environment that may pose a potential threat to themselves, this
interventional study has been designed. Eligible blood donors in Guangzhou Blood Center has
been randomly divided into four groups according to their sociological variables, their
interval since last blood donation , their history donation times and the location of their
last blood donation. Three groups of donors has been randomly selected as interventional
