Abstract

Positional Plagiocephaly (PP) is an acquired deformation of an infant's skull due to consistent external pressures, such as frequently lying in the same position. Multiple providers can be seen for this condition, and literature debates best management practices. This study aims to understand the public's perception of positional plagiocephaly and helmet molding therapy, and find demographic trends in prevention and management preferences to better guide patient education.
