Pregnant Women Needed for Apparel Fit Research Project
Vitronic Body Scanner
We would like to invite pregnant women to participate in a study conducted by researchers from the U of A Apparel Merchandising and Product Development program.
This study will help us determine how satisfied pregnant women are with the fit, size, comfort and style of maternity wear during their first, second or third trimester, and how the industry can improve the size and fit based on participants' responses.
A survey will be administered for perceptions of fit, and then the participant will be body scanned using the Vitus 3D Body Scanner (a quick and non-invasive digital measurement device).
Results from the study will be reported as group measures. Data will be coded for confidentiality and kept in a secure location for a minimum of three years per state and federal regulations.
The study will take place at the Home Economics Building, room 023 on the U of A campus during the months of September and October 2023.
Please contact Laurie Apple, lapple@uark.edu, or Zipporah Barasa, nbarasa@uark.edu, to be considered for the project.
