Abstract
Kansas' infant mortality rate is higher than the national average. Research supports specific infant mortality prevention techniques but it is unknown if physician assistants (PAs) in Kansas are teaching them. Our objective is to identify Kansas PAs' knowledge and practice on infant mortality. Prevention recommendations were used to create a survey that was approved by the WSU IRB, and completed by Kansas PAs. Responses were analyzed for associations between demographic groups, and descriptive percentages were evaluated. The survey response rate was 39%. Four significant findings were identified between demographic groups, and discrepancies were found between current infant mortality prevention recommendations and how Kansas PAs implement them.
