Characteristics of nurse-midwife patients and visits, 1991
OBJECTIVES: This study describes the patient populations served by and visits made to certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) in the United States.

Population estimates were derived from a multistage survey design with probability sampling. RESULTS: We estimated that approximately 5.4 million visits were made to nearly 3000 CNMs nation…
