“…An important part of the between-country variations in the contribution of each SUDI category to overall SUDI may reflect heterogeneity in how information is collected and analyzed to achieve classification (17,25). It may also result from disparities in the geographical distributions of modifiable and non-modifiable SUDI risk factors such as ethnic origin, socio-economic status, longitude/latitude data (26) or genetic data (27,28). A last explanation may be found in national variations regarding the implementation level of riskreduction campaigns (9,29).…”

“…1 ), and there are substantial disparities between racial/ethnic and geographic groups [ 1 , 3 – 7 ]. Recent rates of SUID in the U.S. are shown to be higher among non-Hispanic Black and American Indian/Alaskan Native infants compared to Hispanic, non-Hispanic White, and Asian/Pacific Islander infants [ 3 , 4 , 6 – 8 ]. Furthermore, within the U.S., there are higher rates of infant deaths in rural compared to urban communities [ 4 , 6 ].…”

Community-based approaches to infant safe sleep and breastfeeding promotion: a qualitative study

Background In the U.S., sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) due to accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed (ASSB) are increasing, with disparities by race/ethnicity. While breastfeeding is a protective factor against infant mortality, racial/ethnic disparities are present in its uptake, and motivations to breastfeed are also often coupled with non-recommended infant sleep practices that are associated with infant sleep deaths. Combining infant safe sleep (ISS) and breastfeeding promotion on the community level presents opportunities to address racial/ethnic disparities and associated socioeconomic, cultural, and psychosocial influences. Methods We completed a descriptive qualitative hermeneutical phenomenology using thematic analysis of focus group data. We examined the phenomenon of community-level providers promoting ISS and breastfeeding in communities vulnerable to ISS and breastfeeding disparities. We asked eighteen informants participating in a national quality improvement collaborative about i.) areas requiring additional support to meet community needs around ISS and breastfeeding, and ii.) recommendations on tools to improve their work promoting ISS and breastfeeding. Results We identified four themes: i.) education and dissemination, ii.) relationship building and social support, iii.) working with clients’ personal circumstances and considerations, and iv.) tools and systems. Conclusions Our findings support embedding risk-mitigation approaches in ISS education; relationship building between providers, clients, and peers; and the provision of ISS and breastfeeding supportive material resources with educational opportunities. These findings may be used to inform community-level provider approaches to ISS and breastfeeding promotion.

“…AAP guidelines on ISS include placing infants to sleep supine, keeping soft objects (e.g., pillows, comforters) outside of cribs, and infants sharing a room with caregivers without bedsharing ( Moon et al., 2022 ). Racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities in sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) highlight the need to enhance education and support around ISS practices among certain populations (e.g., non-Hispanic Black, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and rural infants; Bombard, 2018 ; Drowos et al., 2019 ; Mitchell et al., 2020 ; Parks et al., 2017 ; Randall et al., 2019 ; Womack et al., 2020 ). Education and modeling in prenatal and in-hospital settings is shown to increase adoption of ISS practices ( Frey et al., 2020 ; Goodstein et al., 2015 ; Kellams et al., 2017 ).…”
