Collaborative Home Infant Monitoring
Evaluation (CHIME)
The CHIME database is the largest longitudinal
physiologic dataset of infants. The objectives of the study
were to: determine whether home apnea monitors employing event
recordings were effective in identifying episodes that are
dangerous to the infant's health; determine the conditions
that optimize the use of apnea monitors in high risk infants;
correlate physiological markers, health status, and behavior
with the propensity for life-threatening events; and provide
important information on the maturation of heart and respiratory
function in sleeping infants. The database contains raw and
analyzed physiologic waveforms from overnight polysomnogram
recordings and the home monitor recordings. The website includes
information on standardized procedures at each CHIME study,
CHIME data, list of CHIME publications and forms to request
specific CHIME study data.

National Infant Sleep Position Study
(NISP)
Data from the National Infant Sleep Position
Study (NISP) developed by National Institute for Child Health
and Human Development (NICHD) to examine sleep practices and
factors associated with adherence to the back-to-sleep recommendations
are being made available to researchers. From 1992 through
2005, the NISP study has conducted an annual telephone survey
of nighttime caregivers of infants less than 8 months of age
in 48 coterminous states to assess infant care practices and
dissemination of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation
regarding infant sleep position and related care practices.
Website includes procedures, listing of publications, data
questionnaire (1992-2005) and Sleep Position summary data (1992-2005)
on all races and ethnic groups, forms to request NISP study
data. dccwww.bumc.bu.edu/ChimeNisp/Main_Nisp.asp

Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health departments.
PRAMS collects state-specific, population-based data on maternal
attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after
pregnancy. http://www.cdc.gov/PRAMS
