Abstract:
A descriptive cohort study to determine new mothers' preferred modality for educational materials, and if the format impacted the mothers' perception of an evidenced-based practice safe sleep program. The sample included new mothers anticipating discharge from a mother-baby unit with their newborn. Participants responded to a four-item survey administered by a research assistant. Respondents' self-reported preferred format for patient education was technology-based materials in both cohorts. The video teaching material as compared with the paper handout was rated significantly higher by participants. Modalities of patient education in health care organizations need to be consistent with the changing ways people are learning and accessing information in their everyday life.

Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
