The researchers found that overall, people who have continuous support during childbirth experience a:

  • 50% reduction in Cesarean sections 
  • 30% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief
  • Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average
  • 31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience; mothers’ risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience was reduced with continuous support provided by a doula

Data/Statistical Info/Metrics

Pregnancy-related deaths per 100,000 live births (the pregnancy-related mortality ratio or PRMR) for Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women older than 30 was four to five times as high as it was for white women. Even in states with the lowest PRMRs and among women with higher levels of education, significant differences persist. These findings suggest that the disparity observed in pregnancy-related death for black and AI/AN women is a complex national problem.
