“…It is difficult to make comparative statements about a process of care among different populations. However, Table 11 demonstrates clearly that nurse‐midwives provide care that yields excellent outcomes despite the fact that four of the studies 1–4 represented in Table 11 are based on populations that are relatively high risk. The women in those four studies are from a lower socioeconomic status, in a clinic type setting (ie, not private), with all the health problems associated with that population segment.…”
