First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new digital tool can help doctors talk to parents about safe sleep for babies. The tool includes a questionnaire for parents and a smart form for doctors, plus training in motivational interviewing. Researchers will enroll 350 parents and their infants at a pediatric clinic, comparing those whose doctors use the tool to those receiving standard care. The goal is to see if the tool improves how doctors counsel parents and leads to safer sleep practices, potentially reducing the risk of sudden infant death.
