ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To determine if there is a racial disparity in satisfaction with maternal healthcare, and examine the quality of care mothers of color receive. METHODS: An online survey of women in the United States who had been pregnant at least once was conducted. The study received an exempt determination by our Institution's Review Board. RESULTS: Race, age, income, were all significant indicators for whether a woman was satisfied with maternal healthcare measures. CONCLUSION: Race is one of many indicators for dissatisfaction with maternal healthcare. More in-depth research on patient perception of care is recommended.
