Demographic variables related to successful anonymous oocyte donor recruitment.

Only 4% of initial applicants to the oocyte donor program completed the screening process and actually donated a cohort of oocytes. Medical screen-outs were more likely for women who had children, were unmarried, and were less educated, whereas psychological screen-outs were more common among younger applicants, and both younger and African-American women were more likely to withdraw without donating.
