The National SIDS/Infant Death Resource Center is developing a searchable electronic compendium of information collected from national, state, and local SIDS/Infant Death programs, and perinatal, stillbirth, MCH, and bereavement organizations. The compendium will be inclusive of resource materials such as fact sheets, brochures, booklets, posters, order forms, and electronic materials in CD/DVD/video format (including foreign-language materials).

These materials will be posted under “Topics A–Z” in June 2006 on the NSIDRC Web site at http://www.sidscenter.org.  Publications and resources will be available to download and print. This “one-stop shopping” feature will help to increase efficiency for those seeking information. Participants may also access all publications submitted by a particular organization, i.e., the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).

The Resource Compendium can assist you to increase the visibility of your publications! If you would like to contribute your organization's publications related to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), infant death, stillbirth, perinatal death, and bereavement, the link below will take you to a Web page where you can enter specific information for each publication to be submitted.
