ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine whether exposure to safe sleep recommendations using a blog format changed infant sleep practices.METHODS:
We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial via Qualtrics, a web-based platform, with a national sample of parents of children < 1 year old. Survey questions about infant sleep practices included bed-sharing, location, position and objects present. Safe sleep was defined as not bed-sharing, in a crib, bassinet or playard, back positioning, and no other objects present except pacifiers. Participants were randomized to read one of the following (1) pediatrician blog post, (2) parent blog post, or (3) no blog post. The blog posts contained the same content about infant sleep but varied by identified authorship. All participants received links to online content about safe sleep. Participants received a follow-up survey 2-4 weeks later with the same questions about infant sleep practices. We compared responses in pre- and post-surveys by type of blog post exposure using multivariable logistic regression models.RESULTS:
The average infant age (n = 1500) was 6.6 months (Standard Deviation 3.3). Most participants (74%) were female; 77% were married; 65% identified as white Non-Hispanic, 12% were black and 17% were Hispanic. 47% (n = 711) completed both surveys. We identified no differences in the odds of any of the four safe sleep practices after exposure to safe sleep recommendations in blog post format.CONCLUSION:
Although in-person advice has been associated with improved safe sleep practices, we did not identify changes in infant sleep practices after exposure to safe sleep advice using blog posts.Palavras-chave
