Table 2.
As demonstrated by frequency analyses, cue use tended to be in the direction of VHs that were female, African-American, older adults, and/or had a high pain facial expression. Z-score tests of proportions showed that significantly more individuals used female, old, and high pain, compared to male, young, and low pain cues, respectively.

Significance level for Z-score tests of proportions:
