Hirai AH, Kortsmit K, Kaplan L, Reiney E, Warner L, Parks SE, Perkins M, Koso-Thomas M, D’Angelo DV, Shapiro-Mendoza CK. 2019. Prevalence and factors associated with safe infant sleep practices. Pediatrics. 2019 Nov;144(5):e20191286. ,

Annotation: This research article examines the prevalence of four key safe infant sleep practices and factors affecting their implementation, based on 2016 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data from 29 states. It analyzes maternal reports of back sleep position, separate approved sleep surfaces, room-sharing without bed-sharing, and avoidance of soft bedding, along with healthcare provider advice about these practices. The study reveals significant variations in adherence to safe sleep recommendations across demographic groups and states, with back sleep position being the most commonly followed practice (78%) and use of separate approved sleep surfaces the least common (31.8%). The findings highlight that healthcare provider advice is associated with increased adoption of safe sleep practices, suggesting an important pathway for improving infant sleep safety.

Annotation: This volume presents the annual addresses (1921-1955) of the first twenty-five presidents of the American Academy of Pediatrics. These addresses are essentially personal observations on current problems considered important by each president as he concluded his span of office. As a compilation, they are both a history of the Academy and pediatrics during this time period. The underlying theme of the addresses is the dedication of the pediatrician to child welfare. The photograph of each president is reproduced and a short appreciation of each president, written by one or more contemporaries, is included. Remarks on each essay follow, giving in some instances the background of its composition and delivery.
