“…Heath's (2007) concept of collaborative dialogue enabled local voices to be foremost while recognising the diverse factors impacting on women's safety and risk during pregnancy and childbirth. Participants' experiences were deemed authentic sources of knowledge (Popay and Williams, 1996;2006), pregnancy and childbirth experiences were viewed as naturally occurring interactions (Mead, 1972;Lincoln and Guba, 1985;Charon and Hall, 2004) and the researcher's reflexivity was sustained throughout (Maanen, 1988;Hammersley and Atkinson, 1989;Reed-Danahay, 1997).…”

“…Medically, this seclusion of women in the cowshed during and after birth is considered as creating risks of infection leading to higher mortality (Thapa et al, 2001). Contrastingly, researchers have argued that women should not be separated from their cultural settings during pregnancy and childbirth (Brubaker and Dillaway, 2009;Cindoglu and Sayan-Cengiz, 2010;Kontos, 2011;Lee et al, 2012;Hall et al, 2012) and tradition should be embedded within medical care (Eckermann, 2006;Rice et al, 1994). Women in rural Nepal prefer to birth in their community setting to maintain their cultural safety (Thapa et al, 2001;Bennett et al, 2008) and women in diverse societies act differently to enhance childbirth safety (Miller and Shriver, 2012).…”

“…Attaran (2005, p. 959) observes that directly measuring MMR in the whole population is not today an option. Eckermann (2006aEckermann ( , b, 2008) also comments on the unreliability of actual maternal and infant deaths statistics in the Lao PDR. She states 'As in most developing countries, official statistics are likely to represent only the tip of the iceberg as many parts of the country are too remote for data on maternal and infant deaths to be systematically gathered and reported ' (2008, p. 767).…”

“…The qualitative methods employed by Eckermann (2006aEckermann ( , b, c, 2008, and Eck- Eckemann's frequent and extensive field visits to sites hosting a MWH in each of the 17 Districts in the Attapeu, Saravan and Sekong Provinces in Southern Lao PDR provide an insight into how villagers perceive the services offered and explanations for why uptake of the MWH facilities remains relatively low. She identified that in all three provinces the majority of women and men said they would use a MWH but with some important qualifications.…”
