Effects of an Animal-Assisted Drop-In Program on First-Year University Students’ Trajectory of Psychological Wellbeing by Alexa M. Carr, Patricia Pendry

“…While many universities offer animal visitation programs (AVPs), their effectiveness in supporting student wellbeing during this transition remains unclear. This randomized controlled trial evaluated psychological mood risk and resilience in a randomly selected sample of first-year university students (n = 145) separated from their childhood pets. (2) Participants were randomly assigned to receive access to a seven-session, biweekly 2 h drop-in program (n = 77) featuring unstructured interactions with therapy dogs or a waitlist control group (n = 68). …”
