Factors influencing women's perceptions of shared decision making during labor and delivery: results from a large-scale cohort study of first childbirth.
The researchers examined correlates of shared decision making during labor and delivery. They found that women who were black and who did not have a college degree or private insurance were less likely to report high shared decision making, as well as women who underwent labor induction, instrumental vaginal or cesarean delivery.
