Brandy Lipton was quoted in an article about doulas and improved health outcomes for pregnant people with Medicaid. Brandy Lipton, PhD, a visiting associate professor of health, society, and behavior at the University of California, Irvine’s program in public health notes it may take some time before enough data is available for a complete assessment of changes in maternal health. “Based on available research, it seems likely that doula care will have health benefits for Black mothers and children,” says Dr. Lipton.
