“…Though substantially fewer women reported that their healthcare provider had talked to them about CMV than was reported by Ross and colleagues ( Ross et al, 2008 ) it was also an important predictor of attitudes toward CMV prevention behaviors. Low rates of providing information to expectant mothers about how to reduce risk is not limited to CMV ( Krugman & Cumpsty-Fowler, 2015 ). However, healthcare providers are a critical partner with the public health sector in the efforts to increase CMV awareness and convey guidance for how to prevent infection because nearly two-thirds of women reported having a visit with an obstetrician/gynecologist within the last year ( Ranji & Salganicoff, 2011 ).…”

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection causes severe disabilities and developmental delays. Women's awareness of CMV is low. Only about half of healthcare providers report counseling women about behaviors to reduce CMV risk and public health education is limited. Routine CMV counseling is not recommend. Providers may lack time to counsel women; other conditions may take priority for counseling; there may be a perception that women are reluctant to follow advice. This cross-sectional descriptive study examined women's attitudes toward CMV prevention behaviors. Data were collected from an online panel of 840 U.S. women 18–40 years of age, who had a child < 5 years of age, and were pregnant or planning a pregnancy in the next 12 months. Questions assessed CMV awareness, frequency of past behaviors that transmit CMV, and attitudes toward eight CMV prevention behaviors. Only 15.5% of women were somewhat or very familiar with CMV. Very few women (6.1%) reported hearing from their provider about CMV. Women held positive attitudes toward the CMV prevention behaviors and perceived them as feasible. Least positive attitudes were toward not kissing a child on the lips and not sharing foods. Predictors of positive attitudes were CMV awareness, past behavior, talking to a healthcare provider, and perceived risk reduction. Healthcare providers and public health practitioners should collaborate to increase CMV awareness. Encouraging behaviors to reduce saliva sharing may result in greater gains in reducing CMV infection.

“…7 Additionally, there is evidence that parents recall little of the anticipatory guidance delivered in the newborn nursery. 8,9 Feedback of outcomes is a primary driver that helps a unit own an outcome and change a culture. The actual outcome of rates of sleep-related SUID has not been in the focus of any previous hospital SUID reduction study.…”
