(For further instructions see separate document titled “Action Plan Guidelines”)

MCAH SOW Goal 3_: Improve infant health
Problem Category / From Deliverable Form B of your Title V Needs Assessment - SIDS/SUID; Perinatal Substance Use
Problem Statement(s) / From Deliverable Form B of your Title V Needs Assessment-Black infants are having a higher rate of SIDS due to lack of knowledge about SIDS risks and unsafe sleep practices
Pregnant white women have an increased rate of Perinatal Substance Use (PSU) due to lack of knowledge about the harm to the fetus from alcohol use
Five Year Local Goal(s) / (Develop one or more five year local goal(s) that state the desired results of your interventions) - SIDS/SUID -Reduce the number of presumed unexpected infant deaths by promoting infant safe sleep and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) risk reduction education activities to the community with a focus on Black families
PSU - Increase the proportion of primary care providers who screen all pregnant and postpartum women for perinatal substance use; increase community knowledge regarding the harmful effects to the baby from PSU
Risk/Contributing Factors / (List LHJ-specific contributing factors using a problem analysis)–SIDS/SUID - Unsafe infant sleep environments, prone/side sleep positioning, exposure to substance use in utero or early infancy, lack of knowledge of SIDS, lack of regular prenatal care, prematurity, low birth weight

Best Practice Strategies/ Interventions / (List best practice strategies and/or interventions to address your problems)–SIDS/SUID - Educate parents, caregivers, and health care providers about ways to reduce the risk for SIDS and other sleep-related causes of infant death.Targeted outreach to MCAH population and other public health programs and providers. Increase knowledge of parents of newborns and childcare providers, especially for Black families
PSU - Integration of perinatal substance use screening into a range of clinical and community settings, such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, community clinics, managed care plans, health departments; community health education campaigns
Intervention Population(s) / (List the populations you will be focusing on for the next five years)–SIDS/SUID - MCAH and other public health programs and providers, childcare providers and parents of newborns, focusing especially on the Black community
