handle is hein.gao/gaobabbrk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES -rt RELEASED AIRcou . . The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Program Helps Families But Needs Improvement Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the sudden and unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant which cannot be explained by a thor- ough medical examination. The Department of Health and Human Services' Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Information and Counseling program is helping families deal with the death of their infants. However, grantees have not fully met the program's objectives because of (1) the lack of full cooperation from other organizations, (2) the lack of sufficient guid- ance from the Department, and (3) the Depart- ment's failure to enforce program require- ments. The Department also needs to improve its grant and contract award and management procedures. To help overcome obstacles impeding the ex- tension of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in- formation and counseling services nationwide, GAO recommends that the Congress consol- idate this program with the Maternal and Child Health program. 1P HRD-8 1-25 FEBRUARY 6, 1981 114727 , , , , _ _. , M* I .0, 1172:x
