The relationship of maternal race and insurance status to prenatal ultrasound use in a national population.
Data from the first group of respondents (N = 4,846) of the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey were analyzed. After controlling for potentially confounding factors, such as maternal age, in a multivariate analysis, no relationship could be demonstrated between insurance status or race and the probability of receiving a prenatal ultrasound examination.
