Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine decision-making factors for infant sleep position among low-income parents and other relatives. METHODS:Data were collected from 18 focus groups conducted with low-income parents and relatives of infants across the state of Missouri. RESULTS:That the decision-making process regarding infant sleep practices was complex. CONCLUSION:Although most participants are familiar with the "Back to Sleep" campaign, there was a lack of understanding over why nonprone sleep is necessary, and the change in this message over time added to the parents' uncertainty.
