    AbstractThe impact of the declining proportion of family physicians who attend deliveries on the provision of other perinatal care during pregnancy, postpartum, and neonatal periods is unclear. We found a strong association between stopping attending deliveries and stopping providing prenatal and postpartum care among family physicians, suggesting that policies which support family physicians to maintain a full scope of practice including all or some aspects of perinatal care may help alleviate shortages in the perinatal workforce and fill gaps in access to obstetric care.© Copyright by the American Board of Family Medicine.
