    Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to increase the knowledge level and change self-reported behavioral intent among a sample of healthcare providers regarding safe sleep messaging.

Before this training, up to six sleep-related infant deaths were reported annually. The following year, one sleep-related infant death occurred. None occurred during the second year subsequent to the training. Current literature demonstrates healthcare providers have considerable influence on safe sleep messaging.

There was a statistically significant change in the overall 13-item composite score reflecting knowledge level and change the self-reported behavioral intent from pretest (M=6.13, SD=2.78) to post-test (M=8.78, SD=3.79) at the p
