- Although models were statistically significant, the ability to accurately predict CAM use or non-use was clinically poor (61 -73%). Maternal factors evaluated were as follows: maternal age, race/ethnicity, US-born, previous pregnancy, use of a midwife, public insurance, employed outside of the home, marital status, any college education and mode of delivery.
