Recommendation are steps or approaches that must be taken to prevent a symptom, disease of occurrences. It is usually a guideline on what to do and what not to do. In this case, the guidance for ensuring children sleep on the backs (provides what must be done) to reduce the incidence of SID (and provides what is averted if the guidance is done), this is a Grade A recommendation.
The Evidence-Based Public Health (EBPH) approach has to do with making decisions, developing, implementing and evaluating active policies and programs in public health through the use of data and information systems and applying principles of scientific reasoning, engaging community in decision making and the proper use of behavioral science. The evidence-based public health approach makes use of the P.E.R.I.E process which consists of the following components;
Problem,
Etiology,
Recommendation,
Implementation and
Evaluation
The statement in the question is therefore described as the Recommendation components of the evidence-based public health approach giving that it has to do with advise on how infants should sleep in order to reduce the incidence of SIDS. SIDS means Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, it is an unexplained death that happens while a child is asleep. It happens to babies less than a year old.
