Black Women's Perceptions of Race‐Concordant Midwifery Care and Home Birth: Liberation in Labor
Black women in this study perceived race-concordant home birth midwifery care as high quality, emphasizing holistic support, autonomy, and trust. These findings highlight the importance of culturally responsive, relationship-centered care in addressing persistent perinatal inequities. Increasing racial diversity within the midwifery workforce and expanding access to race-concordant care may improve Black women's perinatal experiences and outcomes.
