Brief Summary

Teen mothers present a unique set of challenges in reducing the risk for sleep-related infant mortality, in part because they may not be the sole decision-maker for an infant's sleep environment and position and they make seek advice from older female support people. Investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial of a educational intervention to mitigate the risks of unsafe infant sleep practices across generations. Given the complexity and variability of teen-SCG relationships, investigators will include an examination of inter- and intra-personal factors that are key control variables or may mediate the uptake of safe sleep recommendations. Investigators believe that the intervention will empower support people to positively influence a teen mother's adoption of safe sleep recommendations.

Interventions

A Safety Baby Shower using didactic and experiential teaching methods to educate participants on safety topics focused on reducing infant mortality. Participants receive safety products as their "shower gifts" with education on appropriate use of the products. The relaxed setting also encourages participants to seek answers and clarify myths from credible sources not otherwise available among family and friends. For intervention provides information on the infant's sleep position, bedding, co-sleeping, and tobacco exposure, all of which, alone or in combination, are risk factors for sleep-related deaths in infants. Breastfeeding, a protective factor for SIDS, will be encouraged.

Behavioral: Safety Baby shower DyadBehavioral: Safety Baby shower Teen Only

Participants will received standard of care in regards to infant injury prevention. Written material on car seat safety, prevention of abusive head trauma, and safe sleep environments will be provide to participants.
