Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention is a multifaceted strategy, and this organization is committed to
all avenues. We support public health strategies and education that target both high-risk populations and the public in
general. In addition, we are committed to the support of research and clinical care of patients with problems of
respiration and sleep. These patients include, but are not limited to, children with apnea of prematurity and apnea of
infancy and those with obstructive sleep apnea and other systemic problems that impact control of breathing and
respiration during sleep.
