We aimed to determine if implementation of standardized counseling around calculated cesarean risk during labor induction could reduce racial disparities in birth satisfaction.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Study Design\u2003We implemented use of a validated calculator that provides an individual cesarean risk score for women undergoing induction into routine care. This prospective cohort study compared satisfaction surveys for 6 months prior to implementation (preperiod: January 2018\u2013June 2018) to 1 year after (postperiod: July 2018\u2013June 2019). Women with full-term (\u226537 weeks) singleton gestations with intact membranes and an unfavorable cervix undergoing induction were included. In the postperiod, providers counseled patients on individual cesarean risk at the beginning of induction using standardized scripts. This information was incorporated into care at patient\u2013provider discretion. The validated 10-question Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) subdivided into three domains was administered throughout the study. Patients were determined to be \u201csatisfied\u201d or \u201cunsatisfied\u201d if total BSS-R score was above or below the median, respectively. In multivariable analysis, interaction terms evaluated the differential impact of the calculator on birth satisfaction by race (Black vs. non-Black women).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003A total of 1,008 of 1,236 (81.6%) eligible women completed the BSS-R (preperiod: 330 [79.7%] versus postperiod: 678 [82.5%], p\u2009=\u20090.23), 63.8% of whom self-identified as Black. In the preperiod, Black women were 50% less likely to be satisfied than non-Black women, even when controlling for differences in parity (Black: 39.0% satisfied vs. non-Black: 53.9%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR]\u2009=\u20090.49, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30\u20130.79). In the postperiod, there was no difference in satisfaction by race (Black: 43.7% satisfied vs. non-Black: 44.0%, aOR\u2009=\u20090.97. 95% CI: 0.71\u20131.33). Therefore, disparities in birth satisfaction were no longer present at postimplementation (interaction p\u2009=\u20090.03).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Implementation of standardized counseling with a validated calculator to predict cesarean risk after labor induction is associated with a decrease in racial disparities in birth satisfaction.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n
