the objectives of this review were (1) to assess whether interventions to support effective communication between maternity care staff and healthy women in labour with a term pregnancy could improve birth outcomes and experiences of care; and (2) to synthesize information related to the feasibility of implementation and resources required.

To examine maternal birth outcomes and birth experiences of low-risk women in the Netherlands in different sized midwifery practices.

This creates a health risk, since substance-using women who do receive prenatal care experience more positive birth outcomes and have greater opportunities for other health promoting interventions than women who do not receive care (Berenson et al. 1996; El-Mohandes et al., 2003; Green et al. 1979; MacGregor et al. 1989; Racine et al. 1993; Richardson et al. 1999).
Research repeatedly demonstrates that substance-using women who receive prenatal care experience more positive birth outcomes and have greater opportunities for other health promoting interventions than women who do not receive care (Berenson et al. 1996; El-Mohandes et al., 2003; Green et al. 1979; MacGregor et al. 1989; Racine et al. 1993; Richardson et al. 1999).
The self-reported information on women's experiences during pregnancy, birth outcomes and post-partum period obtained from the surveys were linked to the electronic health records at hospital admission for labour and delivery according to unique personal health care numbers.
