THE SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME AMONG ALASKAN NATIVES

Among Alaskan natives the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) occurs at a rate somewhat less than that reported for native Americans indigenous to temperate latitudes. Cases occurred in both the arctic and subarctic regions of the state and among all but one of the ethnically distinct native populat...
