African American babies are nearly two-and-a-half times more likely to die of SIDS/SUID than Caucasian babies, and Native American babies are nearly three times more likely to die of SIDS/SUID. The Back to Sleep campaign is being stepped up, with a special effort to get the message out to these two populations with the help of community, civic and religious groups.
