Drs Johnson et al present some evidence to suggest that the national "Back to Sleep" campaign in the United States may not yet be effective—at least in parts of Michigan. Data being collected by the National Institutes of Health from a wider national sample are somewhat more optimistic, with a reduction of prone sleeping from 73% before the 1992 AAP recommendation to 43% just prior to launching the "Back to Sleep" campaign in June 1994 (M. Willinger, personal communication).
