Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the desirability of a shared obstetrics-gynecology–midwifery care model for adolescents at an acute tertiary hospital in Canada. Validated questionnaires were given to adolescents and practitioners. Thirteen (86% response rate) respondents completed the antenatal survey and identified being given results of tests, feeling safe, and having a variety of health care professionals as important to them. Practitioners (n = 10, 100% response rate) identified having a good sense of their role but struggled with time efficiency amongst a large team. This quality improvement study shows promising results that shared care between obstetrician-gynecologists and midwives is desirable.
