Description
Madeline Hawke, Linda Sweet, and Julie Considine published a 2024 study of shared decision-making in pregnancy care. Good care should involve women in choices. The team recorded real clinic consultations in Australia. Women with higher body weight formed one group. A leaner group allowed comparison.
Trained raters scored each talk with a standard scale. Scores were low across the board. Women were rarely drawn into decisions. Body weight made no difference to the scores. A case example covered induction of labor. The findings show a gap between policy and practice. Training and time may both need attention.
