Factors associated with racial disparities in maternal-infant bed- sharing: Findings from Wisconsin BACKGROUND • Bed-sharing is associated with an increased risk of sleep-related infant deaths. 2 • Disproportionately higher rates of sleep- related infant deaths occur for African Americans. 3 • “Separate but proximate sleep surface” for infants recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). 1 • Maternal-infant bed-sharing remains a common practice, especially among African Americans. Study Purpose To examine factors associated with bed-sharing among African American and White mothers in Wisconsin.

Zilber School of Public Health METHODS • Data: Wisconsin Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) dataset (2007- 2010). o Stratified sample of linked survey and birth certificate data. o N = 2,486 (806 non-Hispanic African Americans; 1,680 non-Hispanic Whites). • Bed-sharing: “How often does your new baby sleep in the same bed as you or anyone else?” o Yes: “Always,” “Often,” “Sometimes,” “Rarely” o No: “Never” • Separate logistic regression models run for African Americans and Whites using weight variable. • Review by UW-Milwaukee and UGA Institutional Review Boards. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest the need: • For more research on context and reasons for bed-sharing: o Sources of information about infant sleep. o Decision-making process about sleep location (influences on decisions and how risks and benefits are weighed). • To engage fathers/partners in bed-sharing discussions and in the postnatal period. 4 • To tailor culturally-salient safe sleep interventions to sub-populations at higher risk of sleep-related infant death. • When speaking with families, providers should: o Discuss specific context of infant sleep (environment, motivations and reasons). o Working within that context, help family increase safety of infant’s sleep environment (for example, sharing RESULTS • Overall, more African Americans (70.6%) bed- shared than Whites (53.4%), p < 0.001. • As show in Table 1: o African Americans: Higher proportion of bed-sharing mothers had >12 years of education, did not use Medicaid, and experienced partner-related stress. o Whites: Higher proportion of bed-sharing mothers experienced abuse, breastfed, earned <$50,000, were unmarried, had <16 years of education, used Medicaid for delivery, experienced emotional, financial, partner-related, and traumatic stress, and placed infants non-supine to sleep. o Both groups: Significant differences between non-bed-sharing and bed-sharing sub-groups. • Logistic regression (Table 2): o African Americans: Partner stress and education >12 years associated with significantly greater odds of bed-sharing. o Whites: Partner stress, breastfeeding, earning $35,000-$49,999, being unmarried, needing money for food, and placing infant Source: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/births/pra ms/ DISCUSSION • Study found significant racial differences in factors associated with bed-sharing. • Findings suggest that for: o African Americans, higher education had greater odds of bed-sharing; other socio- economic factors (income, insurance status, money for food, financial stress) were not significant. o Whites, bed-sharing appears more strongly linked to socio-economic factors and stress; non-supine sleep combined with bed-sharing is a particularly high-risk sub-group. • Partner-related stress: Bed-sharing might interfere with partner intimacy or be a result of partner stress (e.g., separation).
