Impact of Presence of Doulas on Perceived Racism for Black Mothers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Results of our pilot study suggest that having a doula physically present (not including virtually present) in the delivery room could make a positive difference in Black women's birth experiences, especially with regards to racism. Our study had a small sample size and further research is needed to draw more generalizable conclusions.
