Summary
Filed under:There’s promising new research, but it’s not a quick fixSudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, is a devastating condition that’s still very poorly understood, so when new research comes out, it can feel like a very big deal — especially if that research seems to offer a way to save children’s lives. I've seen this report multiple times on my feed today so wanted to comment.This is interesting (& promising) work but the report (https://t.co/uhyRmmZc9e) VASTLY overstates the research findings.#SIDS is awful, but we need to be careful with messaging hereA brief 1/x https://t.co/uVx7sExjrpIndividual scientific studies rarely offer clear-cut answers, especially to complex issues like SIDS.
