National Action Partnership to Promote Safe Sleep (NAPPSS) and NAPPSS-IIN

Also: NAPPSS-IIN · National Action Plan to Increase Safe Infant Sleep

NAPPSS built a national action plan and coalition for safe infant sleep; its successor, the five-year HRSA-funded Improvement and Innovation Network led by NICHQ, ran hospital and community quality improvement collaboratives that paired safe sleep with breastfeeding (e.g., Cohort B of 15 hospitals in 8 states), later folded into AAP's SUID prevention work.
