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

June 1, 2016 updated by: Kathryn Moseley, MD, MPH, University of Michigan
This is a research study of African American parents/caregivers of newborns. The purpose of this research study is to learn what type of educational materials about infant safety and safe infant sleep are most effective and acceptable to parents and caregivers. The investigators will compare the responses of parents who receive enhanced materials to the responses of parents who receive the ordinary materials that are currently in use.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Standard Education
Control group participants will receive standard educational materials published by the CDC or American Academy of Pediatrics as an intervention along with a generic infant safety DVD
Behavioral: Standard Education

Experimental: Tailored education
Parents/caregivers will receive educational materials tailored to their specific beliefs and barriers about infant supine sleep along with a DVD detailing standard guidelines along with specific solutions and facilitators to infant supine sleep as the intervention.
Behavioral: Tailored education
Using information gleaned from interviews, educational print materials tailored to the participant's beliefs about infant safe sleep practices, will be mailed to the participants home at 2 separate times over a 6 month period along with a culturally relevant DVD with safe sleep information
