SIDS a Killer for Native Infants: Aberdeen Study Points the Way to Prevention.

Heet, LaRita Marie

American Indian Report, v15 n1 p24-25 Jan 1999

A four-year study focusing on American Indian infants and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome found education to be the key to reducing the higher-than-average death rate among Indian infants. Casual factors included overbundling of babies, lack of prenatal and well-child care, poverty, lack of transportation to hospitals, and prenatal smoking and alcohol use. (SAS)
