The Birth Survey
The Birth Survey is an on-going online consumer survey that asks women to provide feedback about their birth experiences. Women’s responses about specific providers and facilities will be available online to other women in their communities to help them decide where and with whom to birth. As they become available, the official facility-level intervention rates gathered from the state departments of health will be paired with the women’s survey responses to help families make their birthing decisions.
