I am forwarding this message from a co-researcher.  It is about using breastfeeding or sucrose to prevent pain in babes when immunized.
Please share with colleagues, friends, and family.
With thanks,

Dear health care providers,

CHEO’s Be Sweet to Babies team is currently conducting a study using YouTube as a means to widely disseminate knowledge to parents and health care workers about effective ways to reduce pain during infant immunizations.

We are asking for your support on this study by helping us to circulate a YouTube video demonstrating the effective techniques of breastfeeding and giving babies sugar water (sucrose) to reduce pain during immunization.

Research shows these techniques work, yet they are rarely used by health care providers and parents.

Our goal is to use YouTube as a means to disseminate important information to a wide audience, empower parents to advocate for the use of best practices for immunization and ultimately change the way babies are being immunized.

By studying the results of this project, we hope to learn more about health education strategies that may be helpful to families and patients.  What we learn from this project has the potential to instruct how future health information is shared with the public and will contribute to our understanding of the effectiveness of YouTube in disseminating knowledge to health consumers.

But our video needs to be seen in order to change how babies are being immunized and ultimately reduce their pain.  And we are asking for your help to spread the word.

You can support our research project in the following ways:

  a.. Watch our video http://youtu.be/8Wzjxvrl91U 
  b.. Complete the survey attached to the video 
  c.. Forward this to colleagues, staff, students 
  d.. Post a link to our video on your website 
  e.. Share the video via social media
We appreciate your support in our efforts to help babies and children and their families to be their healthiest. 

 Regards,
