Eligible participants self-identified as Black women, received home birth care from a Black nurse-midwife, and provided informed consent. Interviews were conducted between August and November 2022, lasted approximately 60 minutes, and were audio-recorded. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis guided by the Donabedian model.
