Actual (reported)Racial and ethnic disparities in obstetric anesthesia care remains persistent despite studies documenting its existence and calling for action. The goal of this study is to share disparity data with underserved minority groups being admitted to the labor and delivery unit for obstetric care, to reduce mistrust and misconceptions regarding obstetric anesthesia care, and to bridge the cultural gap between patient beliefs and safe anesthetic care and to empower patients through transparency and provide them with the information necessary to make informed decisions about their care, to improve health literacy, and to ultimately improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
