The associations between psychiatric service dog partnership and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among veterans.
By Tarun Sai LomteJun 7 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers evaluated the associations between psychiatric service dog partnership and post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans.
Preliminary reports suggest that psychiatric service dog partnerships have been shown to improve self-reported PTSD symptoms in veterans. Veterans aged ≥ 18 were recruited between August 2017 and December 2018, who were in military service on/after September 11, 2001, applied for a service dog, and had PTSD, current honorable service or discharge, and no convictions for crimes against animals.
Outcomes were evaluated at baseline and follow-up . The primary outcomes included PTSD symptom severity, anxiety, and depression. The mean age of veterans was 37.6. Most participants were male and White . Intervention subjects reported significantly lower severity of PTSD symptoms at three months than controls based on PCL-5.
