Improving the Self-Efficacy of African American Parents in Infant Supine Sleep

Kathryn Moseley, MD, received a $2.16 million grant over 5 years from the NIH for a study designed to reduce the disparity in SIDS deaths between African American and White infants.  Culturally appropriated tailored multi-media messages will be used to assist parents in overcoming identified barriers to infant supine sleep.  Materials generated from the project will also demonstrate appropriate sleep techniques tailored to the infant's developmental age.
