Service dogs have been promoted as a potential intervention for veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, research supporting their effectiveness is limited. At the request of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the National Academies provided iterative reviews of a VA monograph that assesses the economic impact and cost effectiveness of programs involving trained service dogs or emotional support dogs and veterans with PTSD. The reviews evaluated the draft monograph with regard to consistency and the use of accepted scientific principles. Working from this input, the VA finalized and released the monograph, The Economic Impact and Cost Effectiveness of Service Dogs for Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, in January 2022.
