Condition: Sudden Infant Death · Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University
Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) is the leading cause of death in infants age 28 days to 1 year. Protective factors, such as supine positioning, firm sleep surface, breastfeeding, pacifier use, elimination of soft objects from the sleep space, and avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs have been shown to decrease the risk. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that healthcare providers model and convey safe sleep practices during patient encounters. Pediatric emergency departments (PED) serve as front-line contact for populations at greatest risk for SUID, however few interventions have been tested in the PED setting. M- Health (mobile health) apps have previously demonstrated the ability to deliver safety education to parents and are well suited for use in the PED given limited clinician time and long wait times. Safety in Seconds (SIS) is a theory based, m-Health injury prevention tool focused on care seat safety and fire safety with previously demonstrated effectiveness in an NIH-funded randomized trial. This study aims to add safe sleep education into the SIS, and subsequently disseminate the app in the PED setting. Integration of safe sleep education into SIS represents an opportunity to increase safe sleep knowledge and practices through a proven effective m-Health intervention. This study addresses this potential by incorporating a previously developed, theory-driven and evidence-based safe sleep education into the SIS app and testing the feasib…
