Military Veterans Needed for Research Study

By Jeff DeWitt , Community Writer

Local professor Tammy Bradshaw-Scott has announced she is conducting research aimed at further exploring the potential benefits of canine companions paired with military veterans. She is seeking the help of veterans willing to participate in an online survey that may be completed in less than 30 minutes. Veterans are eligible to participate if they are between ages 22 to 65 and have experienced at least one military deployment to a theater of war. Veterans who either own a dog or do not own a dog are sought for this study. Participants may remain anonymous if they so choose. “Our veterans deserve tremendous respect and I have a passion to help them through this research project,” observed Bradshaw-Scott. “The study I’m conducting is part of my doctoral dissertation research. The conclusions drawn from it have implications for raising the quality of life for veterans who may benefit from the company of canine companions.” “Those who take the research survey may also be eligible for a drawing that will award a $100 gift certificate,” added Bradshaw Scott. “But more importantly, those completing the survey may take great satisfaction in knowing they are helping fellow veterans. The federal government typically spends up to $20,000 per canine for training as companions to veterans. My research will show how dogs are helpful to veterans’ everyday lives in the hope that more vets will qualify for grants and the many benefits companion animals offer.” Bradshaw-Scott is conducting her research as a doctoral candidate at Alliant International University of San Diego, where her Ph.D. Clinical Psychology proposal has been submitted. With more than 10 years of experience as a clinical therapist working with adults, geriatrics, adolescents and children, in both in-patient and out-patient settings, Bradshaw-Scott has worked with veterans who have stress disorders, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, and other stress related disorders. She is currently an adjunct professor of psychology at California Baptist University of Riverside and also holds a master of Science degree in counseling psychology and a Master’s degree in clinical psychology. Anyone desiring more information about the study or participation may contact Bradshaw-Scott by emailing her at: bradshawtammy@aol.com.
