A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene a public, one-day workshop to examine law enforcement, clinical, and public health responses to sudden, unexpected infant death. The workshop will: 1) consider responses to sudden, unexpected infant deaths in the U.S. and other countries, including by law enforcement, emergency medical professionals, physicians, and public health officials; 2) identify elements of an optimal response to sudden, unexpected infant death, including with regard to family social assessment and support and the integration of medical research into diagnoses of the cause of death; 3) review the mandatory legal requirements in place in the event of child death; and 4) describe the rights of parents and caregivers in fatal health events involving dependent infants and children. A rapporteur-authored proceedings in brief will be issued following the workshop.
