Maternal health and Indigenous traditional midwives in southern Mexico: contextualisation of a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Collate published evidence of factors that affect maternal health in Indigenous communities and contextualise the findings with stakeholder perspectives in the Mexican State of Guerrero.

Design

Scoping review and stakeholder fuzzy cognitive mapping.

Inclusion and exclusion

The scoping review included empirical studies (quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods) that addressed maternal health issues among Indigenous communities in the Americas and reported on the role or influence of traditional midwives before June 2020. The contextualisation drew on two previous studies of traditional midwife and researcher perspectives in southern Mexico.
