NCT ID: NCT03070639 Completed - Clinical trials for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Enhancing Safe Sleep Practices of Urban Low-Income Mothers

Start date: October 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The specific aims of the study are to: 1) evaluate the impact of the safe sleep intervention on parents' knowledge, beliefs, intentions, skills and practices related to creating and maintaining a safe sleep environment for their infants during the first four months of life; 2) describe the characteristics of physician anticipatory guidance about safe sleep and identify physician, patient and parent characteristics associated with coverage of the topic at the well-child visits; and 3) evaluate the dissemination of the B'more for Healthy Babies (BHB)'s safe sleep campaign messages and services among our study participants.

NCT ID: NCT01361893 Completed - Clinical trials for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Factors Influencing the Racial Disparity in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

SIDS
Start date: December 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall purpose of this investigation is to better understand factors contributing to the high incidence of prone sleep positioning in African-American infants. In addition, the investigators are interested in investigating other races and ethinicities to understand their beliefs and perceptions and determine differences socioeconomically and socioculturally within and between groups. The investigators will address the following specific aims: (-) To compare knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding infant sleep position in parents of higher and lower SES. (-) To identify risk factors for non-use of recommended supine sleep position in families with higher and lower SES (-) to develop a phenomenologic understanding of the decisions made by parents of higher SES and lower SES who do nt use recommended supine sleep position, using qualitative techniques.

NCT ID: NCT01265277 Completed - Clinical trials for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome

Changes in Sleep Patterns and Stress in Infants Entering Child Care

Start date: July 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

When babies start day care, they experience many changes, some of which may affect their risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The investigators want to find out if stress or change in the baby's sleep patterns can be a reason for this increased risk for SIDS.

Parental Knowledge and Beliefs About Infant Sleep Position

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In the United States, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)is the leading cause of death in infants between the ages of 1 and 12 months. The etiology of SIDS is still not clear although a number of risk factors have been identified. Sleeping on the stomach has been identified as a major risk for SIDS. The rates of SIDS have dropped substantially in countries in which the usual sleep position has changed from the stomach to the side or back. Back sleep has been shown to be the most stable and safest position. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends the back sleeping position for all healthy infants. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics began advocating the back sleep position, the incidence of SIDS has decreased by more than 40% in this country. However, the decrease has not been uniform across segments of the population. Black infants continue to have a higher rate of SIDS compared with other groups. This discrepancy could be related to infant sleep position practices. Several studies have shown that infants born to low income, minority, inner-city families were more likely to be placed on the stomach to sleep. Education appears to influence choice of sleep position and may explain, at least to some degree, the difference in choice of sleep position among certain groups. We believe that uniform education of parents will influence the sleep position that parents choose for their baby. We will undertake this initial study to document what parents choose to do with their infants regarding sleep position and why they make these choices so that we can improve our educational approach.

NCT ID: NCT00004392 Completed - Apnea Clinical Trials

Incidence and Severity of Cardiorespiratory Events in Infants at Increased Epidemiological Risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Start date: May 1994
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess and compare the incidence and severity of cardiorespiratory events documented by home monitoring in infants at increased epidemiological risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). II. Determine the antecedent medical, demographic, physiologic, and behavioral characteristics that predict the incidence of cardiorespiratory events documented by home monitoring.
