Key factors in obstetric delivery decision-making among Asian and Pacific Islander women by English proficiency.
Understanding (1) how expectant mothers gather information to decide where to give birth, and (2) who helps make that decision, provides critical health communication and decision-making insights. This survey found that the top three health decision-makers for both those Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) with limited English proficiency and English-proficient AAPIs were themselves, their obstetrician, and their spouse, which did not differ significantly by language proficiency.
