NCT ID NCT06074211
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app called Safety in Seconds can effectively teach parents of infants about safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID). The app delivers educational modules on safe sleep, such as placing babies on their backs and using a firm sleep surface. Researchers are enrolling English-speaking caregivers of infants aged 0-4 months in a pediatric emergency department to see if the app improves safe sleep knowledge and behaviors.
