Phoenix Children's Hospital is grateful for this opportunity to partner with the Tohono O'odham
Nation. We appreciate your consideration of our 2019 application for a 12% Tribal Gaming
Grant request.
Explain the perceived need and explain how the proposal will address that need.
The American SIDS Institute reports that nationally nearly 4,000 babies die suddenly and
unexpectedly each year at a rate of 0.93 deaths per 1,000 live births. Sudden Unexpected Infant
Death (SUID) fatalities occur among infants less than one year old and have no obvious cause.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies sleep safest on their backs, alone
and in a crib. SUID increased in Arizona by three percent in 2016 and accounted for ten percent
of all child deaths.
Research shows improvement in infant mortality rates requires intervention to promote safe
infant sleep. The Cribs for Kids© program at Phoenix Children's Hospital provides a two-hour
training on home safety and safe sleep best practices. The Program curriculum follows the
recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics and incorporates mediums for
various learning styles including video, print and hands-on training to ensure that babies are
sleeping safely at all times. After participating in the course, parents receive a Keep Your Baby
Safe Kit that includes safe sleep and home safety written materials, a Pack 'N Play and a sleep
sack.
In addition to the need for safe sleep education, helmet and pedestrian safety have also been
identified as areas of need. In 2016, 59 children died in the United States as pedestrians or
pedal cyclists. Of these 59 fatalities, more than 50 percent were not wearing helmets (Source:
NHTSA). In 2017, 19 children died in Arizona as pedestrians or bicyclists, all were determined
preventable. Unfortunately, in 2016, while Arizona lead the nation, Maricopa County lead the
state with the largest number of pedestrian fatalities.
Access to free helmets and helmet-fitting assistance ensures that more children in Arizona ride
safe. In the last year, the Helmet and Pedestrian Safety program has distributed more than
1,500 helmets. Furthermore, the Program is working in communities with the highest incidence
and risk by providing safe pedestrian and bicyclist education to prevent future deaths or
injuries.
Describe the population who will benefit from the proposal if approved.
Phoenix Children's Hospital recognizes the importance of caring for our most vulnerable
children and the communities affected by preventable injuries. Phoenix Children's Center for

Family Health and Safety is seeking to continue and expand its community partnerships. We
currently partner with Native Health, Phoenix Indian Medical Center and schools throughout
the Valley.
Based on injury and fatality data from the City of Phoenix, we are concentrating pedestrian and
bicyclist interventions in the Maryvale area. However, we also serve and work with Title 1
schools throughout the Valley. Some schools self-identify the need for education and others are
included when a student of the school has been a patient of Phoenix Children's Hospital due to
a pedestrian or bicycle injury. The former patient then serves as a partner to educate and
prevent injuries for other classmates. Finally, we collaborate with schools, municipalities and
bike groups through ongoing participation in community events that promote safe and fun
walks to school, bike rodeos and family bike rides.
Safe Sleep classes are available to families who self-report a financial need or referred by a
partner agency through an online referral form. These families must demonstrate a financial
need impeding their ability to provide a safe sleep environment for their newborns. Once
referred, families are contacted to schedule a safe sleep class. The success of the Safe Sleep
classes have garnered national recognition, prompting children's hospitals throughout the
country and the Arizona Department of Children's Services to replicate this Program model.
Include a budget of the requested funds, with the total amount requested clearly notated.
We respectfully invite Tohono O'odham Nation to support the Center for Family Health and
Safety through a $29,913 grant award.

Studies show that injury prevention education coupled with the provision of safety tools and
materials is the most effective way to create change and prevent future injuries. The safe sleep
and helmet/pedestrian safety materials will be distributed in a classroom setting using both
didactic and kinesthetic teaching methods in a classroom environment. Bike safety and
pedestrian safety education will be provided both in school classrooms and at community
events. Participants will be eligible for free bike helmets and/or reflectors for safer pedestrians.

A 7.6 percent indirect rate is Phoenix Children's federally negotiated indirect rate applied to all
non-research programming, such as the Home Safety and Helmet and Pedestrian Safety
Program. The total requested amount of $29,913 provides 200 additional safe sleep
environments and home safety equipment for infants and 800 helmets for toddlers and school-
aged children. This addition will tremendously help the children and communities impacted by
daily injuries.
List any other funding requests that have been made for this or substantially related
proposals and provide the status of those requests.
