2009 CityMatCH Urban MCH Leadership ConferenceACCOMPLISHMENTS/RESULTSQualitative data was collected through in-depth phone interviews with all 50 states and the District ofColumbia. This has resulted in the discovery of many new, exciting, and innovative projects occurringacross the country. Many of these activities include innovative approaches that address and break downcommon barriers. With state budgets tightening and maternal and child health programs slated for deepfunding cuts across the country, many states have affirmed that this project could not have come at abetter time. Now, more than ever, information sharing will be a necessity for many states to seek outexisting resources and innovative ideas to continue perinatal depression efforts in their communities.Once completed and available for all to view on the PDIN website, one can only imagine the differencethis will make in helping programs across the country tackle the issue of perinatal depression.BARRIERSCollecting data from across the country has proved to be a very challenging and time consumingundertaking. Ensuring that the information is accurate and remains up-to-date is a constant demand thatwill continue after the 15-month development period ends. In order for PDIN to be effective, it mustcontinue to expand and flourish. A plan is being devised to guarantee its future at a nationally recognizedorganization.LESSONS LEARNEDPDIN will fill a major gap in sharing information and knowledge about this often neglected type ofdepression. States will have the tools to more efficiently and effectively help women and their families getsupport, help and treatment for perinatal depression.INFORMATION FOR REPLICATIONThe project was funded by the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation, a private foundation,and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. The total budget for this project was $100,000.42
2009 CityMatCH Urban MCH Leadership ConferenceAssessing knowledge of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome among African Americanwomen in two Mississippi communitiesPRIMARY CONTACT:Juanita C Graham, MSN, BSN, RNHealth Services Chief NurseMississippi Department of HealthPO Box 1700Jackson, MS, 39215-1700Phone: (601)576-8109Fax: (601)576-7825Email: juanita.graham@msdh.state.ms.usWebsite: http://www.msdh.state.ms.us/CATEGORYInfant mortality and morbidityRacial and ethnic health disparitiesFOCUSData FocusBACKGROUNDCO-PRESENTER(S)/AUTHOR(S):LaDonna Northington DNS RN,lnorthington@son.umsmed.edu (Author)Although infants of all demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds are at risk for SIDS, the AfricanAmerican population bears a disproportionate burden of SIDS, a phenomenon noted throughout the worldand shared by Mississippi infants. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the third leading cause of Mississippiinfant mortality with nonwhite infants dying of SIDS at two to three times the rate of white infants.OBJECTIVESThe purpose of this study was to assess the level of SIDS related knowledge among African Americanwomen to improve methods for SIDS education and outreach.METHODSAn African American faculty was contracted to conduct six focus groups among African Americanwomen in urban and rural communities in Mississippi.RESULTSSome themes were common among participants from both the urban (n=29) and rural (n=28)communities. Participants in both areas had at least heard the term SIDS. Because there was inconsistencyamong participants as to the source of information, it is not surprising that overall knowledge related toSIDS was incomplete, and in some cases inaccurate. One group had suggested SIDS was a scary topic todiscuss with pregnant mothers. The term “crib death” seemed to be a cause of confusion suggesting thatputting the baby in a crib was dangerous. Timing of the delivery of information was presented as amechanism for improving maternal interest and retention of SIDS risk reduction information. Anotherconcern was not the message, but the deliverer of the message. Groups emphasized a lack of trust in43
