Previous research has found that women often experience mistreatment and discrimination during maternity care. This CDC analysis of survey data for 2,402 respondents found that approximately one in five women experienced at least one type of mistreatment during maternity care (i.e., being ignored or refused, being shouted at or scolded, having their physical privacy violated). Nearly 29% of respondents reported experiencing at least one form of discrimination during their maternity care (i.e., age-, weight-, income-, or race/ethnicity-based discrimination).
