Responsive community-based dog-assisted services: an evaluation of the Bracknell community dog hub model
This evaluation highlighted the service's successful implementation and positive impact, alongside delivery barriers. Given the service's complexity, involving various content and interactions with diverse populations, it is likely multiple mechanisms work to underpin positive outcomes. Further research is needed to evaluate this service at scale and explore how mechanisms may differ across diverse groups.
