This research uses a case-control study to examine the relationship between deprivation of area of residence and incidence of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in New Zealand. Three hundred sixteen cases and 1221 controls were elicited with geocodable addresses. Infants living in the most deprived areas had a 5.9- (95%CI = 2.9, 12.2) fold increased risk of SIDS compared with those infants living in the least deprived areas. After adjusting for individual-level factors there was no remaining area-level effect. Nearly 27% of control infants lived in the two lowest deciles of deprivation, and almost half of SIDS deaths occurred in these areas. Incidence of SIDS is strongly associated with both deprivation of area of residence and individual socioeconomic factors. This indicates the importance of reaching parents in deprived areas, however, given that approximately 50% of SIDS deaths occurred in areas other than the two most deprived, we recommend that SIDS health messages be delivered to the general population. |
