AB Background/Objectives: Blood donation knowledge is increasingly recognised as a relevantconstruct in health education research due to its role in supporting voluntary donationand informing evidence-based strategies that promote preventive behaviours and civicengagement. This study aimed to develop and validate the Spanish version of the BloodDonation Knowledge Questionnaire (BDKQ22-Spain) through university–school partnerships. The BDKQ22-Spain consists of 22 multiple-choice items, each with a single correctanswer, designed to assess knowledge about blood donation. Methods: Psychometricevaluation was conducted within a quasi-experimental study involving 228 responsesfrom individuals aged 17 to 51 years (M = 24.12, SD = 7.75), comprising high school anduniversity students enrolled in health and education programmes. Results: Factor analysissupported a two-factor structure for the BDKQ22-Spain, confirming its construct validityand reliability (KR-20 = 0.85) for measuring blood donation knowledge in Spanish. Theresults identified higher levels of knowledge among women, nursing students, and individuals with previous blood donation experience, while lower scores were observed amongminors, future teachers, and therapy students. However, both minors and future teachersshowed significant improvements following the intervention, reaching levels comparableto those of nursing students. These findings highlight specific knowledge gaps acrosssociodemographic and academic groups. Conclusions: The BDKQ22-Spain representsa valid and reliable tool for assessing blood donation knowledge, supporting its use inhealth and education settings to guide future research and targeted educational strategies
