Asian Americans have the lowest organ donation registration rates in the United States, and the reason for this is incompletely understood. Aiming to understand the reasons for low organ donation registration rate among Asian Americans, more specifically Chinese and Korean Americans, we conducted a systematic search of databases, websites, and gray literature. Altogether, 34 papers were retained after the assessment of relevance and quality. Commonly reported barriers to organ donation registration among Chinese and Koreans in the literature included lack of knowledge about organ donation, distrust of health-care and allocation system, cultural avoidance of discussion of death-related topics, and desire for intact body mainly stemming from the Confucian concept of filial piety. Strong family values coupled with a cultural reluctance to discuss death-related topics among family members appear to underscore the reluctance to organ donation among Chinese and Koreans. Notably, improved knowledge negatively impacted organ donation intent and religion seemed to play a more important role when making decision about organ donation among Koreans, and the distrust of the allocation system is more prominent among Chinese. This information should be used to inform the development of culturally competent organ donation educational materials.
