Curriculum for Nurses: Continuing Education Program on SIDS Risk Reduction

Description:

The NICHD and its partners in the Back to Sleep campaign worked with national nursing organizations to design this continuing education (CE) program about reducing the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Nurses can receive CE credit by going through the module themselves, or an instructor can lead a group of nurses through the module to receive CE credit. The module is approved for 1.1 hours of CE credit from the Maryland Nurses Association. The module includes information about SIDS, SIDS risk, risk-reduction strategies, challenges to risk reduction, communicating about risk reduction, and the unique role nurses can play in helping families reduce the risk of SIDS.
