Doula Data Consortium: Time Use Study
Sister Web & HealthConnect One
​
The Doula Data Consortium was formed on September 21, 2021 by SisterWeb in co-creation with HealthConnect One as a way to easily share research and help guide policy for community doulas across the nation. Focusing on culturally congruent support especially within Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, the purpose of the 2023 Time Use Study was to better understand the multifaceted roles and time commitments of community-based doulas.This study addresses the lack of published data concerning the time allocation performed by community-based doulas, and provides valuable insights into activities beyond conventional direct client care. The findings from this study are a call to action for improved payment structures that reflect the invaluable contributions of community doulas.
