Background Information: In 1996, CDC released the original Sudden Unexplained Infant Death Investigation Reporting Form (SUIDIRF). The form is used to collect information at the scene of an infant death. This information is used by 2 primary groups: 1) the death certifier to better determine cause and manner of death; and 2) child death investigators to discuss infant death prevention strategies. Although the form has gone through several updates, CDC does not know how death certifiers and child death review teams perceive the usability and quality of the form. CDC is preparing to update the form again. CDC would like to know if death scene investigators will use an updated SUIDIRIF form because it improves their workflow.
