Summary

This research project seeks to implement an early intervention program that can be effective in the prevention of shaken baby syndrome (SBS) and infant abuse. The investigators' hypothesis is that the Period of PURPLE Crying intervention program can be effective in reducing the shaking and abuse of infants through changes in knowledge, attitudes and behaviours about early infant crying, especially inconsolable crying.
