N2  - Participating hospitals in upstate New York provided both parents of newborn babies with information describing the dangers of violent infant shaking and providing alternative responses to persistent infant crying.Both parents signed a voluntary commitment statement confirming their receipt and understanding of the materials. Follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with a randomized 10% subset of parents, 7 months after the child's birth, to assess parents' recall of the information. The incidence of abusive head injuries decreased by 47%, from 41.5 cases per 100 000 live births during the 6-year control period to 22.2 cases per 100000 live births during the 5.5-year study period. No comparable decrease was seen in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the years 1996–2002, See a  summary and rating of this research by the Californian Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare
