Evaluating caregivers arrangement of infant sleeping environments in the home

Abstract: Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) is the leading cause of death for infants under 12 months old. This presentation will explore the application of behavior analytic principles to this issue of public health. Specifically, research will be presented on the efficacy of a performance-based and criterion-based parent training model which has been deployed across the city of Philadelphia in community-based health centers. Additionally, this talk will also feature research exploring the durability and generality of safe infant sleep arrangements to the home, efficiency of parent training models and building community partnerships. We hope you can join us!

1. · Participants will explore mainstream applications of behavior analysis

2. · Participants will compare and contrast didactic and performance-based training approaches
