The purpose of this study was to examine, from the perspectives of young mothers, the role of the doula within their broader birth support system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred pregnant Black adolescents and young women (aged 13 to 21) who were provided perinatal community\u2010based and racially concordant doula services at no cost to them were interviewed after the birth of their newborn, prior to hospital discharge. Interviews generated birth story narratives and responses to focused questions about their experiences of birth support. Thematic analysis was conducted to examine the role of the doula within the context of the broader system of birth support.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Doulas functioned in 2 primary ways within the birth support system by (1) providing tandem support alongside family and health care providers and (2) filling gaps in health care not provided by family and providers. Laboring adolescents sometimes described their family members and doulas working in tandem to provide multiple types of support such as comfort measures, coaching, and help with pushing. They also identified gaps in their care or support filled by the doula, in particular gaps due to family members\u2019 physical or emotional unavailability or health care providers\u2019 many responsibilities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings highlight the ways in which doulas support pregnant adolescents during childbirth through their deft navigation of the existing support system. Well\u2010being was enhanced by the inclusion of the doula in the birth support system. The findings align with existing research that underscores the valuable role doulas play in supporting individuals during childbirth, particularly for those most affected by processes of marginalization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.13570","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T05:04:06Z","timestamp":1695877446000},"page":"33-40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Community\u2010Based Doulas' Roles Within the Birth Support System: Young Black Mothers\u2019 Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"69","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8504-0743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna L.","family":"Herriott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice The University of Chicago  Chicago Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"Etling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice The University of Chicago  Chicago Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sydney L.","family":"Hans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice The University of Chicago  Chicago Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eclinm.2022.101531"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD003766.pub6"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/jwh.2020.8882"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ppe.12529"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1073110520958875"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s\u20100038\u20101675207"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.12490"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2016.10.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.14941"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2019.112491"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2018.02.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049732306297414"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02646838.2013.832181"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884\u2010022\u201005100\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jmwh.13282"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","volume-title":"The Community\u2010Based Doula: Supporting Families Before, During, and After Childbirth","author":"Abramson R","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","unstructured":"BakstC MooreJE GeorgeKE SheaK.Community\u2010Based Maternal Support Services: The Role of Doulas and Community Health Workers in Medicaid.Institute for Medicaid Innovation;2020.
