Conclusion
Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatric team in frail older inpatients in non‐geriatric wards, both medical and surgical, and in ER, followed by a multidimensional intervention is beneficial in preventing not only functional decline at 3 months of follow‐up, but also mortality. This fact is especial...

Question
Does a responsive parenting intervention for Black families improve infant sleep?
PMC10066466
Findings
SECONDARY
In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial of 194 Black mother-infant dyads, infants in the responsive parenting group had significantly longer nighttime sleep duration, longer total sleep duration, fewer night wakings, and were more likely to meet recommended guidelines of at least 12 hours of sleep per...

These findings suggest that responsive parenting interventions delivered early in infancy can improve sleep among Black infants and may be an effective approach to reducing sleep and sleep-related disparities early in the lifespan.This secondary analysis of the Sleep SAAF (Strong African American Families) randomized c...
PMC10066466
Importance
Black individuals in the US experience sleep disparities beginning in infancy and continuing throughout the lifespan, suggesting early interventions are needed to improve sleep.
PMC10066466
Objective
To investigate whether a responsive parenting (RP) intervention for Black mothers improves infant sleep and increases responsive sleep parenting practices.
PMC10066466
Design, Setting, and Participants
SECONDARY
This is a post hoc secondary analysis of the Sleep SAAF (Strong African American Families) study, a randomized clinical trial comparing an RP intervention with a safety control condition over the first 16 weeks post partum. Data were collected between spring 2018 and summer 2021. Families were recruited from the mother...
PMC10066466
Interventions
RP
The RP intervention curriculum focused on infant sleep, soothing and crying, and feeding. The control group received a safety intervention. Community research associates delivered the interventions during home visits at 3 and 8 weeks post partum.
PMC10066466
Main Outcomes and Measures
sleep behaviors
The primary end point was infant sleep duration at 16 weeks. Mothers reported on bedtime routine and sleep behaviors, infant sleep duration, and nighttime waking and feeding at 8 and 16 weeks post partum using questionnaires.
PMC10066466
Results
A total of 212 Black mothers (mean [SD] age, 22.7 [4.5] years) were randomized, including 208 mothers (98.6%) who identified as non-Hispanic and 3 mothers (1.4%) who identified as Hispanic; 108 mothers were randomized to the RP group and 104 mothers were randomized to the control group. At 16 weeks post partum, infants...

Conclusions and Relevance
SECONDARY
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial found that an RP intervention for Black families improved infant sleep and increased some responsive sleep parenting practices.
