A project of the National Partnership for Women & Families, California Health Care Foundation and Yellow Chair Foundation.
Annually, about a half million babies – or 1 in 8 U.S. infants – are born in California. Listening to Mothers in California explores the views and experiences of childbearing women with an in-depth focus on maternity care. This is the first state-level Listening to Mothers survey and was adapted to California needs and opportunities, including current maternity care issues in the state and the distinctive population of birthing women.
