I've got BC and HB stats pulled out of the perinatal data for Australia. I've also got at least one state breakdown. Let me know J   From: Jo Watson To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:03 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] International Help Hi wise women :) Someone on another newsgroup I subscribe to has this request... can anyone help? I am giving a talk on midwifery to a group of obstetricians next week. We are in the US but I am interested in comparing our model of care with other countries. I am having a particularly difficult time finding descriptive statistics on midwifery practice in other countries. I would like to know the percentage of births attended by midwives vs. physicians in the UK, Scandanavia, continental Europe, Australia. A comparison of perinatal outcomes for these countries would also be helfpul. Can anyone help? Note: references for information are essential. Thanks, Jo
