Doulas Deployed to Help Fill Outcome Gaps in Childbirth
Rolanda Lister, M.D., is working to bridge the gap in pregnancy outcomes through a novel educational program aimed at uniting doulas and medical doctors in obstetrics cases.

Pairing doctors with the more familiar doulas may help smooth out those relationships, according to data from a pilot published in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities.
