Healthy Native Babies: Honoring the Past, Learning for the Future

In recent years, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has declined among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) babies. Still, AI/AN babies are nearly 3 times as likely to die of SIDS as White babies. In response to this disparity, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in collaboration with Native American Management Services, Inc. has created a CD-ROM that will enable public health educators and outreach workers to create tailored health promotion materials aimed at reducing SIDS in their own AI/AN communities. This product has been developed with the assistance of a national work team and focuses on the five Indian Health Service Areas with highest rates of SIDS -- Aberdeen, Alaska, Bemidji, Billings, and Portland.

Two train-the-trainer sessions will be offered in the Bemidji Area (in the states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.). Each two-day session will provide up to 30 interested trainers with information about current SIDS research, risk reduction activities/messages, social marketing and community strategies, project management tools and use of the CD-ROM. This training is FREE and has funding to support transportation, lodging and per diem for the first 25 eligible registrants.

You may be an ideal ‘trainer’ candidate if you work in the area of public health, health education or promotion, injury prevention, maternal child health, childcare or child service, or other programs that reach large numbers of Native families with infants. This training is specifically geared towards people serving families in the IHS Area of Bemidji.

The first training is scheduled in Acme, MI on April 10 and 11, 2007.
The second training is scheduled in Prior Lake, MN on May 9 and 10, 2007.
