| Background / introduction |
|---|
| It is known that, in addition to the maternal care provided by midwives and obstetricians, pregnant women contact their GPs an average of almost 4 times during pregnancy and postpartum. Of pregnant women, 9.4% also visits complementary and alternative care providers. Next to that, we know that pregnant women are more often referred to other healthcare professionals compared to non-pregnant women. However, we do not know which regular health care providers pregnant women visit and to what account. The aim of this research is therefore, to gain insight into health care utilisation and the determinants of this use of pregnant women towards regular health care providers. Information about this can provide a context for the collaboration and communication between various services and professionals. |
