Patients who received doula care during labor and\/or birth were compared with those who did not. Doulas were volunteers who self\u2010scheduled shifts and provided support when available.

Most patients were 25 to 34 years old (53.6%), were multiparous (67.2%), identified as Hispanic (65.7%), and had public insurance (82.5%).
