Risk Reduction Education
Critical Program Function: To inform and educate the public
and families about
risk factors for SIDS and infant death in order to protect
themselves and others.
To reduce SUID/SIDS rates further, program staff must sustain and expand the BTS campaign, address racial disparities, address soft bedding and bedsharing, aggressively address educational messaging about SIDS and smoking and provide guidance to parents on pacifiers and breastfeeding.
