Are you a military veteran who experiences PTSD? Are you interested in training a service dog to help another veteran?
This study, “Evaluating the Efficacy of a Service Dog Training Program for Military Veterans with PTSD,” is a partnership between the University of Maryland School of Nursing and Canines Providing Assistance to Wounded Warriors (C-P.A.W.W.), a health research initiative for veterans. It has been awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant. The eight-week study is taking place at the Warrior Canine Connection in Boyds, Md., and in the community.
Participants will be compensated for their time.
