Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a research study of African American parents/caregivers of newborns. The purpose of this research study is to learn what type of educational materials about infant safety and safe infant sleep are most effective and acceptable to parents and caregivers. The investigators will compare the responses of parents who receive enhanced materials to the responses of parents who receive the ordinary materials that are currently in use.
