This study suggests there is a need to support the efforts already present to include SIDS in medical and nursing school curricula. Both programs have indicated a need for audiovisual and printed teaching materials. Consideration should be given to teaching materials that are easily updated such as computer-generated materials because of the many rapid changes that take place in SIDS research. ⋯ Finally, many states have SIDS services provided by professional programs and parent organizations. Students have the opportunity to work with these organizations to provide bereavement services and risk-reduction education. The organizations listed above can be contacted for further information.
