Abstract:
We describe the disability-related education and training experiences of perinatal care providers in Ontario. Twenty perinatal care providers (e.g., obstetricians, midwives) participated in semi-structured interviews. Using a content analysis approach, we found most acquired disability-related training through their own initiative as opposed to education through professional training programs. Barriers to training included lack of data on disability and pregnancy and limited experiential learning opportunities. Providers recommended that future training focus on experiential learning and social determinants of health, with people with disabilities involved in developing and delivering training. These efforts are vital to optimize pregnancy outcomes for people with disabilities.
