"Listening to Mothers Survey Act"; requires DOH to establish survey to evaluate and improve maternity care access and services.

Maddy summaryS 2231, the "Listening to Mothers Survey Act," requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create a voluntary survey for women who receive maternity care services at licensed facilities (hospitals, birthing centers, etc.). The survey asks women about their experiences with providers - such as how concerns were addressed, provider responsiveness, and access to key health information - while allowing them to share demographic details like race, culture, and socioeconomic background. Data collected will identify disparities in care across different groups and inform strategies to improve maternity care access and quality statewide. The DOH must publish survey results online and submit a report to the legislature within 18 months of the bill's effective date.
