The Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth is committed to providing clear, reliable and credible information about new research to childbirth educators and other health professionals, so they can share with expectant parents. Use these Talking Points to find out – and communicate – the facts about the research.  More detailed critiques of some particularly influential studies can be found in the special section, When Research is Flawed by Henci Goer.
