“…From these 23 publications, over half of the studies (14/23) were conducted in the USA (26,28,30,33,35,37,(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47), four in New Zealand (25,29,32,38), three in the UK (31,34,39), and two in Australia (27,36). The studies span 14 years from 2005 to 2019 and the overall quality scores ranged from 23 to 83%, with 20/23 papers scoring 50% and above.…”

“…Following intervention, participants from both groups demonstrated equivalent rates of learning across each of the risk concepts. An evaluation by Ostfeld et al ( 42 ), of an interactive high school program to address health risks associated with smoke exposure and non-supine infant sleep, found that students were able to recognize specific risks for SUDI, retained that knowledge over time, and demonstrated better knowledge of SUDI risk factors than a convenience sample of first-time parents. Reinks and Oliva ( 44 ) evaluated three multi-media campaigns to raise awareness of infant mortality disparity in black infants.…”

“…All five studies in this section were conducted in the USA (40)(41)(42)(43)(44); two were evaluations (40,41), two were pre and posttest designs (42,43) and one tele-survey (44). The focus of these studies was on health education or raising awareness, and although Ahlers-Schmidt et al (40) provided a cot to participants, this was not the focus of their study.…”

Interventions to Improve Safer Sleep Practices in Families With Children Considered to Be at Increased Risk for Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Background: Advice to families to follow infant care practices known to reduce the risks of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) has led to a reduction in deaths across the world. This reduction has slowed in the last decade with most deaths now occurring in families experiencing social and economic deprivation. A systematic review of the literature was commissioned by the National Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel in England. The review covered three areas: interventions to improve engagement with support services, parental decision-making for the infant sleep environment, and interventions to improve safer sleep practices in families with infants considered to be at risk of SUDI.Aim: To describe the safer sleep interventions tested with families with infants at risk of SUDI and investigate what this literature can tell us about what works to reduce risk and embed safer sleep practices in this group.Methods: Eight online databases were systematically searched in December 2019. Intervention studies that targeted families with infants (0–1 year) at increased risk of SUDI were included. Studies were limited to those from Western Europe, North America or Australasia, published in the last 15 years. The Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs was applied to assess quality. Data from included studies were extracted for narrative synthesis, including mode of delivery using Michie et al.'s Mode of Delivery Taxonomy.Results: The wider review returned 3,367 papers, with 23 intervention papers. Five types of intervention were identified: (1) infant sleep space and safer sleep education programs, (2) intensive or targeted home visiting services, (3) peer educators/ambassadors, (4) health education/raising awareness interventions, (5) targeted health education messages using digital media.Conclusion: Influencing behavior in families with infants at risk of SUDI has traditionally focused on “getting messages across,” with interventions predominantly using education and awareness raising mechanisms. This review found evidence of interventions moving from “information giving” to “information exchange” models using personalized, longer term relationship-building models. This shift may represent an improvement in how safer sleep advice is implemented in families with infants at risk, but more robust evidence of effectiveness is required.Systematic Review Registration:https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/901091/DfE_Death_in_infancy_review.pdf, identifier: CRD42020165302.

Rates of sudden unexpected death in infancy have been found to occur disproportionately amongst families living in the most deprived neighbourhoods. This suggests that standard safer sleep messaging may not be effective for this population and that research is required to identify ways of working that are better associated with behavioural change in parents with children at increased risk of SUDI. In this study, we aimed to explore the behavioural change components and mechanisms of action of safer sleep interventions for families with children at increased risk of SUDI. We conducted an analysis of the literature on safer sleep interventions using the COM‐B model, Theoretical Domains Framework and Behavioural Change Technique Taxonomy. All interventions targeted parents' capability; 15 interventions targeted parents' opportunity; and six interventions targeted parents' motivation to engage in safer sleep practices. Nineteen behavioural change techniques were identified. The focus of practitioners may need to shift from solely the delivery of safer sleep information towards working with parents to understand their capability, opportunity and, in particular, motivation to engage in safer sleep practices, identified as being a key driver of behaviour in this population.
