Abstract:

This paper compares the findings of the Stork Network Assessment (SNA), an evaluative study of the Stork Network (SN) program, with Birth in Brazil (BB), a national enquiry into labour and birth, conducted in 2011-12, before the implementation of the SN. SNA was conducted in 2017, in 606 hospitals involved in the SN and BB included 266 hospitals, with national representativity. In the current analysis, we included the 136 public hospitals that participated in both studies, totaling 3,790 and 12,227 puerperal women, respectively. We performed the comparisons of best practices and interventions by means of Chi-square test for independent samples. Prevalence of best practices averaged 150% higher in SNA than in BB, with a higher relative increase in the least developed regions, in older women, in brown and black women and in less educated women. Regarding interventions, there was an average reduction of 30% between NB and ARC, with a greater relative reduction in the least developed regions and in less educated women. There was a significant improvement in labor and birth care, with reduction in regional, educational and racial inequalities in access to appropriate technologies, suggestingthat the SN program was effective.
