摘要
Childbirth education is designed to help women access accurate and up to date information about childbirth and make informed decisions about their care. Exposure to evidence based information about maternity care practices should assist women to make informed decisions that are based on that evidence. Evidence based childbirth education should ultimately affect outcomes but there is a dearth of research that looks at the outcomes of childbirth education. This editorial suggests that this research is long overdue.
