These hairs are likely to have sensory functions that are important to horses, and the ban is based on welfare grounds. The aims of this study were to determine: the proportions of horse owners trimming equine facial hairs (ear and muzzle hair) across different types of equestrian disciplines in Australia, the types of equine facial hairs trimmed, whether horses were restrained for trimming, and attitudes related to the practice. An online survey of Australian horse owners was advertised through organizations involving equine competitive sports. A total of 422 responses were obtained, with respondents mostly female and a wide range of age groups. Respondents involved in showing competitions were more likely to trim muzzle and ear hairs than the other competition types. Respondents in showing competitions more commonly believed that trimming muzzle and ear hairs was a normal practice in their discipline, made it more likely a horse would win, and that horses did not need muzzle or ear hairs for day-to-day living. The results of this study provide valuable insight into the widespread trimming of horse muzzle and ear hairs in some horse disciplines prior to the implementation of the ban in Australia. The information gained may also be useful for the design and implementation of behaviour change interventions for other management and presentation practices used for horses and other animals. Further studies are needed to determine if and how the practice and attitudes to facial hair trimming in horses have changed with the enforcement of the ban.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134222981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a subset of that data in which participants provided qualitative responses and answered Likert scale questions related to genetic test use and the HAB. Our sample consisted of 253 participants who completed the HAB questions, with 126 completing one or both open-ended text box questions. Qualitative responses were deductively coded using a codebook from a previous content analysis on pet genetic company website and consumer review data. Responses to HAB Likert items indicated genetic test results allow guardians to learn more about their dog, a benefit promoted by pet genetic companies, but did not suggest the new genetic knowledge influenced their sentiments toward the tested dog. Central themes found in qualitative responses were participants using the test results to interpret their dog’s breed or other types of information (e.g. biological relatives in the Wisdom Panel database). Other themes were participants discussing their perceptions toward their dog’s test results (e.g. perceived accuracy of the results) and sharing information about their dog to give additional context to their experience of using a genetic test (e.g. dog acquisition history). Follow-up research should further explore the potential impacts companion animal genetic services may have on the HAB and utilize these findings as a framework. These lines of inquiry will especially be pertinent with the growing use of genetic services for companion animals and genetic researchers suggesting genomic technologies may be used to enhance HAB.\u0000","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132327166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of having a non-formally trained companion animal on veteran mental health is largely unknown, with literature focusing on trained assistance animals to look at specific illnesses. The aims of the current study were to assess current Australian veteran pet ownership, and to investigate if there was an association between both mental health and perceived cost of pet ownership with level of attachment to ones’ pet.\u0000 An online survey targeting Australian veterans and including demographics, and validated scales for mental health, perceived cost of pet ownership and level of attachment was created. The survey was completed by 945 Australian veterans. Dogs were the most owned pet, at 86% of all respondents. Significant negative associations were found between mental health and level of attachment to a pet, with higher attachment associated with poorer mental health. In addition, the level of attachment was negatively associated with the perceived cost of pet ownership.\u0000 Pets play a vital role in the daily life of many Australian veterans. While higher attachment was associated with poorer mental health, a higher attachment was also associated with a lower perceived cost of having a pet. The costs and benefits of the human-animal bond are likely complex, and further research, including prospective studies, is required. This will ensure policy and programmes can be developed to maximise the positive impacts, whilst assisting in moderating perceived costs associated with pet ownership.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130364021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, considerations for the role of diversity in the field have thus far remained limited, and efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in HAI are critically needed. As one of the first steps to improving DEI is to conduct a baseline assessment, the present study sought to address two questions: (1) what is the representativeness among field leaders (i.e. directors of HAI research and education centers)? and (2) what are their perceptions about the status and importance of DEI in the field? Surveys were completed by Human-Animal Bond (HAB) center representatives and directors regarding center and director demographics, and perceived importance of DEI and diversity among professionals and clients in the field. Themes from DEI-focused discussions with expert panels at the 2021 CHAB Conference, were used to interpret and frame the implications of these survey results and make recommendations for the next steps to actively promote and support DEI in HAI. Results indicated racial homogeneity among center directors, with some limited representativeness in other facets of diversity (e.g. sexual orientation, disability, religion). There was limited perceived diversity among field professionals and the communities served, but high perceived importance of diversity in the HAI field. Finally, results suggested inconsistencies in the understanding of barriers to DEI in HAI and a lack of knowledge about strategies for promoting DEI in the field. This manuscript provides a summary of current DEI in the field along with existing resources and guidelines from DEI experts.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129901367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research shows that canines are the most common type of animal integrated into animal-assisted interventions to support people with SUD and that there is growing acknowledgement of companion animals in the lives of people with SUD. Yet, to our knowledge, there has been no review of the evidence related to the role of canines specific to SUD and recovery. To address this gap, the objective of this scoping review is to examine the literature on the role of the human-canine bond with respect to recovery from SUD among adolescents and adults, including how the bond may help or hinder recovery. The review will consider papers that describe the human-canine bond with respect to SUD recovery in any recovery- or therapy-related setting globally. Several databases will be searched for published and unpublished literature in the English language from database inception to present. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews will be used, and two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and full texts, and extract information from the included articles using a piloted data extraction sheet. The reference lists of included articles will be examined for any additional sources. A thematic approach will be used to examine the extracted data, and the findings will be presented using a tabular analysis and a narrative summary.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130741897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies are reported as giving results consistent with one or more of these, but they may not appear to be sufficient to explain the impacts of several pet-related activities on owner well-being. Confirmation bias may also overshadow the consideration of alternative mechanisms. This report aims to review and evaluate a range of psychosocial hypotheses that might help to explain how pets affect the well-being of their owners. This included a theoretical testing of the hypotheses against the recurring themes which emerged from four previously published qualitative frameworks relating to pet-related activities and their well-being outcomes. Twelve psychosocial hypotheses were generated and evaluated using this process: (1) social catalyst-repellent, (2) emotional contagion and empathy, (3) social support, (4) biophilia, (5) attributed fault, (6) social norms, (7) annoyance by noises, (8) routine, (9) caring, (10) exercise, (11) learning, and (12) affective touch. Only three presented potentially contradictory evidence (i.e., social catalyst-repellent, routine, and caring hypotheses), but closer examination revealed that these could not be rejected. These twelve hypotheses are a source of reference for a broader consideration of how pets might affect human well-being. Researchers are encouraged to use, test and/or challenge these hypotheses using established methods of scientific falsification in order to identify which are of the most important in relation to specific owner well-being outcomes.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115043770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We distinguished three qualities of child-pet dog relationships – positive pet relationship qualities, friction, and pets as substitutes for people – and examined them in relation to children’s thriving, school academic performance, and internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. The sample included 115 children (M age = 10.93, 57 girls and 58 boys) who completed questionnaires about the quality of their relationship with a pet dog, the positive and negative qualities of a best friendship, and the security of attachments to parents. To measure child competence, children reported their thriving and parents reported children’s school academic performance. To measure adjustment, parents and teachers reported child internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Positive pet relationship qualities were related to a higher competence. Friction and pets as substitutes were related to lower competence and adjustment, although some findings varied by the reporter or after controlling for other factors. Pet relationship quality uniquely contributed to some child outcomes, although moderation analyses did not provide any evidence that pet dog relationships compensate for low-quality friendships or insecure parental attachments. Collectively, the findings suggest that relationships with pets may augment but not override the impact of relationships with parents and friends.","PeriodicalId":146997,"journal":{"name":"Human-Animal Interactions","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124624245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this manuscript is to discuss these complexities and considerations surrounding conducting an RCT of an AAI program in regard to study planning, conceptualization, design, implementation, and dissemination. We highlight common confounders in HAI research and provide strategies for minimizing or ameliorating them. Recommendations pertain to such unique issues as ethical considerations, theory, control and comparison groups, sampling, implementation fidelity, and transparent reporting of findings.
