Brief summary
Part of the IRB\_00136053 study was to look at the effectiveness of Warrior Renew and Warrior Renew+EAL interventions. Furthermore, demographic information on Veteran participants will be analyzed.
Detailed description
EAL is one of a group of equine-assisted services (EAS), which are aimed at providing benefits for humans, including addressing emotional, mental and social components of functioning. In recent years, the use of EAS has grown rapidly in Europe and the United States in general and is being increasingly used for active-duty military and veteran Veteran populations. As we have previously reviewed, there is evidence that EAS, such as EAL, can contribute to reduction of PTSD and other psychological symptoms as well as enhancing well-being via improvements in resilience, life satisfaction, trust, self-image, and self-control, as well as quality of life.
