    This report is prepared for SIDS and Kids Queensland. It ascertains safe sleeping practices and knowledge in three different Indigenous communities in Queensland: (urban) Logan, (rural) Cherbourg and (remote) Ngurupai. The report is presented in seven sections. Section 1 introduces the report. It presents information on sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), which shows that the 2009-2010 rates of SUDI were higher than any other reporting period, and that Indigenous infants died suddenly and unexpectedly at 6.8 times the rate of non-Indigenous infants. It also introduces the main tasks of the project, which are: to establish the current knowledge of safe sleeping practices and risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS); to ascertain the appropriateness of the current safe sleeping resources for families and health communities; and to make recommendations for safe sleeping strategies and services to close the gap on current knowledge, resources and access.
