Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) Lauds Newly Published Science on Service Dogs as a Complementary Intervention for Veterans with PTSD
Human Animal Bond Research Institute WASHINGTON (PRWEB) April 28, 2021 The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) announced today the online publication of a study titled, “The Effect of a PTSD Service Dog on Military Veterans’ Medication Regimens: A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study”, in the journal Anthrozoos. Findings of the study, conducted by researchers at the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine and the Purdue University College of Pharmacy, found no significant differences between post-9/11 U.S. veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who were provided with a psychiatric service dog and veterans on a waitlist to receive a
Reason for concern: 3.8 billion people (49% of the global population) still rely on traditional energy sources to support household needs such as cooking, heating, and lighting. Due to this, household air pollution is a top-ten risk factor for global morbidity and mortality.
This webinar will provide a summary of research findings from STAR Grant RD83543801 “Quantifying the climate, air quality and health benefits of improved cookstoves: An integrated laboratory, field and modeling study” and related, ongoing research at Colorado State University.
The study featured a unique approach to integrate multi-level laboratory and field emissions testing and exposure monitoring that fed into indoor exposure and global air quality and climate models. Field measurements were conducted, with the support of local partners, in China, India, Kenya, and Honduras. Join us to gain insights on the implications of study results to improve air quality management decisions and climate evaluation.
