Discuss or comment on this article.
ConclusionsThe success of the Innulitsivik midwifery service rests on the knowledge and skills of the Inuit midwives, and support of an interprofessional health team. Our study points to the potential for safe, culturally competent local care in remote communities without cesarean section capacity. Our findings support recommendations for integration of midwifery services and Aboriginal midwifery education programs in remote communities. (BIRTH 39:3 September 2012)

Obstetric Interventions for Low‐Risk Pregnant Women in France: Do Maternity Unit Characteristics Make a Difference?Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
ConclusionsThe concentration of births in large maternity units in France is not associated with higher rates of interventions for low‐risk births. The situation in private units could be explained by differences in the organization of care. Additional research should explore the differences in practices between maternity units with similar characteristics. (BIRTH 39:3 September 2012)
