Submission Description:
In 1992, the AAP released a recommendation that infants be placed on their backs to sleep in order to reduce the incidence of SIDS, and the SIDS rate dropped by 50%. Despite this great success, a disproportionate number of African American infants continue to die. This presentation will look at one Medical Center's multi-pronged program, both in-hospital and in partnership with other community agencies, to address the SIDS deaths in our community.
