Medical journal articles, government studies, and healthcare organization continue to recognize and endorse the services provided by CNMs. Here are just a few of the testimonials to the benefits of nurse-midwifery and contributions by CNMs. "The use of midwives is a natural solution to the problem of improving access to skilled perinatal services while lowering costs...mothers and babies have distinctly better average outcomes when births are attended by midwives, either in or out of hospitals." - American Journal of Public Health "The extra element of prenatal support that nurse-midwives offer appears to pay off. Women report a greater sense of trust in their ability to birth, which in turn eases their labor. Among poor, high-risk populations, studies have shown that care by midwives increases access to and utilization of prenatal care, reducing the incidence of low birth-weight, prematurity, and neonatal death." - The New Physician
