Improving Pediatrician Counseling About Infant Safe Sleep Using the Electronic Medical Record

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sudden Infant Death, Sudden Unexplained Infant Death

In brief

The study team will evaluate the impact of an Infant Sleep Assessment (ISA) tool with motivational interviewing (MI) communication training on clinician-parent communication during 2-month Well Baby Visits (WBV) and parent reported and observed infant sleep practices. The study team's hypotheses are that 1) clinicians who utilize the ISA with MI training will more effectively communicate safe sleep information to their patients' parents, and 2) these parents will have safer infant sleep practices than parents whose clinicians are in a standard of care control group.
