Women ’s experiences of decision-making and attitudes in relation to induction of labour: A survey study

Rates of induction of labour have been increasing globally to up to one in three pregnancies in many high-income countries.

The aim of this study was to identify women ’s mode of birth preferences and experiences of shared decision-making for induction of labour.
