Sleep-Safe: A Strong African American Families Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Sleep Soothe and Sleep Safe for Weight Gain. Completed, enrolled 234 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Rapid weight gain during infancy is a powerful, and potentially malleable, risk factor for later overweight and obesity, but limited research has examined the impact of promising interventions when applied to the groups most at risk for rapid weight gain in infancy. The present study examines whether providing mothers of newborns with responsive parenting guidance during the first weeks of life to promote infant sleep and soothing can reduce rapid weight gain for African American infants born in low SES contexts.
