Clinician decisions for medical interventions in childbirth.

This is a qualitative ethnographic study collecting qualitative data from observation and interviews with clinicians about their clinical practice and decisions for (or not for) medical interventions in childbirth. Therefore there are no specific quantitative outcome measures included. However ethnographic data will collate decisions (yes/no for medical interventions in childbirth), and code the rationales underpinning these.
