As a Community Health Worker, it is important for you to know who doulas are, what they do, and what their impact on birth outcomes is, because:

• One of your participants may seek this information, or want to explore the opportunity to have doula care.

• Community-based doulas, one kind of doula, are a peer workforce that have many things in common with CHWs. 

Learners will apply knowledge of doula care in order to successfully navigate patients and communities to improved birth outcomes.
