						 Availability of blood for transfusion is limited in Ethiopia, as is voluntary blood donation. Evidence
  relating to practice on blood donation among Ethiopians is also scarce. Therefore, assessing the level of
  blood donation practice and its determinants among students has a paramount importance in designing
  an effective strategy for sustaining adequate and safe blood provision. Hence, this study aimed to assess
  blood donation practice and associated factors among college students in Kolfe Keraniyo Sub City, Addis
  Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methods and materials: Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted among 354 college
  students from August 23, 2019 to October 7, 2019. The study participants were selected by multi stage
  sampling technique. A pre tested self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data.
