As many as one in five women have experienced some degree of mistreatment while in maternity care, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The new statistic appeared in the CDC’s “Vital Signs” report.
For the report, the CDC compiled data from 2,402 women who responded to an April 2023 Porter Novelli View Moms survey about the quality of care they received during labor and delivery.
