Dataset of the cross-sectional post-partum surveys in Thailand

This dataset presents the infomation collected in Thailand from two cross-sectional postpartum surveys; one was conducted before implementation start and one will be conducted towards the end of the intervention. The postpartum survey comprises face-to-face interviews (Form 2) with a representative sample of postpartum women who gave birth in participating healthcare facilities during a specific time period. The survey data is linked to information obtained from each woman medical record (Form 1). The survey provides information on birthing women’s background characteristics; knowledge about and preferences for mode of birth both before and after birth; maternal and neonatal health outcomes; birth experience and satisfaction; and experiences with labour companionship and the decision-analysis-tool. In addition, the survey captures outcomes related to gender and social equity, wealth index and out-ofpocket expenditures. The second postpartum survey was conducted towards the end of the implementation period.
