Canines Providing Assistance to Wounded Warriors at Florida Atlantic University is looking for military teens to participate in a study consisting of three online 30-minute surveys over the course of 9 months.

Their study is titled “Pet Dogs, Resilience, and Well-being in Military Adolescents.” The project hopes to use the viewpoints of military teens to study the relationship between resilience and well-being for military teenagers who do or do not own a pet dog.

Qualifications to participate are:

  • Be 12-18 years old
  • Have a parent or guardian provide parental permission to participate
  • Either own a pet dog or not
  • Have a parent or guardian in active duty or a Veteran parent/guardian
