By American College of Nurse-Midwives, National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM), National Black Midwives Alliance, National Partnership for Women and Families
Added: October 15, 2021
LearnPartner Content

Research shows that there are specific care models that can make a concrete difference in improving maternity care quality and producing better outcomes, especially for birthing people of color. One of these models is midwifery care. This report outlines the evidence that supports midwifery’s unique value across different communities, the safety and effectiveness of midwifery care in improving maternal and infant outcomes, the interest of birthing people in midwifery care, and the current availability of, and access to, midwifery services in the United States. They also provide recommendations for key decision makers in public and private sectors to help support and increase access to midwifery care.
