Shaken Baby Syndrome Videos

Hospitals and birthing centers in New York State (NYS) are required to offer new parents the opportunity to view a state-approved video on Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) during the mother's maternity stay. Parents must either watch the video in the hospital or sign a form saying that they declined to view the video.

In addition to the hospital video, the NYSDOH has created videos for day care providers, nurses, and new dads.

The videos are available in multiple languages and are close captioned.

If you would like to request a copy of the videos close captioned in a different language, please send an email to injury@health.ny.gov
