Training with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Training Booklet

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Training Booklet was prepared. Prgenant women who agreed to participate were provided a face-to-face training on the risk factors triggering sudden infant death syndrome through the booklet. Following the educational session, they received the safe sleep handout to use at home and were informed that the researcher would call them two months later to check on their adherence to safe sleep practices.
