Abstract □ 136
In this paper the author critically reviews a decade of support for SIDS parents in Aberdeen- a Scottish city of 250,000 people, and in the centre of the UK oil industry. During this period there has been a welcomed drop in the SIDS rate from 142 in 1989 to 52 in 1997. Accompanying this has been a change in the socio-economic make-up of SIDS families.
This paper examines how these changes have affected the work of support groups and befrienders, and in particular raises implications for the future in supporting SIDS families.
