We found that despite structural racism and other barriers to care, Black doulas continue to provide essential and supportive services to Black birthing people in Georgia, and are passionate and committed to providing care to their communities.

Doula care has been shown to improve birth experiences + outcomes, especially for Black birthing people. As part of the Georgia Doula Study, co-led by RISE and Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia, we studied Black doulas' experiences + how they provide care to communities of color.
