The JPE also publishes features that provide practical resources and advice health-care professionals can use to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their care or teaching to prepare expectant parents for birth. The journal’s content focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, breastfeeding, neonatal care, early parenting, and young family development. In addition to childbirth educators, the JPE’s readers include nurses, midwives, physicians, and other professionals involved with perinatal education and maternal–child health care.
Quarterly issues of the JPE are offered as a Lamaze membership benefit and to individual or institutional journal subscribers. Online access is available to all current Lamaze members; however, only LCCE Educator and regular members receive print post mail copies.
