Multimedia

Thank you for visiting Alameda County Public Health Department’s SIDS Education Multimedia Page. Here you can find videos to share information about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), its risk factors and risk reduction measures everyone needs to know, and anyone can practice.

The videos will help you gain a better understanding of what families who suffer the loss of a baby to SIDS experience. The personal video accounts reveal that many of the parents of the babies who died didn’t know about the risk factors or the steps they could have taken to reduce the risks of a SIDS death.

We encourage you to view the videos with an open heart and mind, and to immediately take the necessary steps to help reduce the risk of your family ever having to experience what the families in the videos experienced. We also encourage you to share this important information with others and to invite them to learn more by visiting our website.
