Marion County has a high rate of SUID at 14%. The purpose of our research is to identify the risk factors for suffocation and to determine if SUID can be better prevented. In a pilot exploratory study, we analyzed five de-identified Marion County SUID cases to identify the asphyxia variables. The Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) cases allowed for thematic analysis. We used a meta-aggregation program NOTARI (Narrative, opinion, text assessment, and review instrument) to focus on categorical variables. Results identified asphyxia variables such as swaddling, blanket suffocation, wedging, parents bedding, soft bedding with pillows. Common maternal variables were obesity, hypertension, and STDs. Infant variables included breathing problems and cardio-respiratory pathologies. We found four cases with documented safe sleep education. The education that parents receive on safe sleep is not a guarantee that they will practice safe sleep with their infants. The education might not be effective enough to help them comprehend its importance; therefore nurses and other healthcare professionals need to consider changing the way they educate and advocate for parents. We suggest the introduction of more primary educational programs that will help the community understand safe sleep and SUID. This intervention would help decrease the incidence of sudden unexpected infant death.Item Construction of a Database for Socio-Demographic, Medico-Legal, Anatomic, and Genomic Research into Suicide(Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2015-04-17) Engle, Kaitlyn; Cook, Shannon; Levey, Daniel; Ballew, Alfarena; Yard, MichaelSuicide is a potentially preventable tragedy. Over 180 cases of suicide a year occur in Marion County. We have created a database that permits integration of socio-demographic data, medico-legal information, anatomic images, and genomic results. We have collected over 50 cases to date. We will show results of analyses looking at method of suicide, toxicology results, and genomic biomarker correlates. It is hoped that this resource would permit the study of risk factors and the creation of predictive algorithms that may better identify people at risk, and lead to early intervention and prevention efforts.Item Eighth Grade Pupils, Center Township, Marion County, School No. 2, One Hundred Per Cent Efficient in the Modern Health Crusade(Indiana State Board of Health, 1919-11)Eighth grade students from School No. 2.Item The History of Psychiatry in Indiana(2015-01-13) Schmetzer, Alan
