2D Portion Size Measurment Aids (PSMAs)
The 2D PSMAs are life-size photographs of the 3D PSMAs.
Portion Size Measurement Aids (PSMAs)
Subjects are randomly assigned to receive either 2D or 3D PSMAs to examine accuracy, acceptability and usefulness of the models. Both groups receive brief instructions on the use of the respective PSMAs, complete an accuracy estimation task, and are given the 2D or 3D PSMAs to take home with them to use for 2-4 weeks, after which the researchers telephone parents to complete a brief satisfaction and usefulness survey.
3D Portion Size Measurement Aids (PSMAs)
The 3D PSMAs include foam rubber replicas of a golf ball, a hockey puck, a tennis ball and a baseball.
