Abstract
State regulatory and reimbursement policies continue to exert a strong influence on health workforce policy. Surveys conducted in 1991 and 1 995 for the purpose of examining the impact of state regulation on the supply and practice of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) showed that th e single best predictor of the distribution and practice activities of CNMs was the degree to which state policies facilitated or restricted CNM practice.
