Community-Based Maternal Support Services: The Role of Doulas and Community Health Workers in Medicaid

By Institute for Medicaid Innovation
InnovatePartner Content

This report explores how community-based maternal support services provided by community-based doulas and maternity community health workers improve maternal health outcomes. It also highlights the results of a national environmental scan of organizations that are actively working toward eliminating maternal health disparities and building community connections through the community-based maternal support model. Finally, the report identifies common barriers to implementing this model and opportunities for Medicaid stakeholders to provide support and increased access to these services.
