Reasons for pacifier use and non-use in African-Americans: does knowledge of reduced SIDS risk change parents' minds?
The authors sought to investigate African-American parental reasons for pacifier use or non-use. They recommended that providers supply information about the benefits of pacifiers and concluded that establishing for parents any plausible link between the protective mechanism of pacifiers and SIDS pathophysiology may be important in promoting pacifier use.
