February Journal Club – Factors Associated With Interest in Birth Center Care for a Future Pregnancy: A Secondary Analysis of the Listening to Mothers in California Survey

Understanding future demand for midwifery-led birth centers is critical to increasing utilization of this high-value model of care. This study examines factors associated with interest in birth center care for a future pregnancy. Methods: We analyzed data from the Listening to Mothers in California survey. The study included 1447 people who had a singleton hospital birth in 2016 and did not have a history of cesarean birth. More than half of respondents (n = 789; 54.5%) expressed interest in receiving care at a birth center in the future. Broadening access to midwifery-led birth centers to accommodate future demand is needed.
