NCT ID NCT06451523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 3-day program called Alliance180, which includes working with horses, can improve anxiety, depression, and overall well-being in adults who are or were US veterans, first responders, or frontline healthcare workers. Fifty participants will fill out questionnaires before the program and again 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after. The goal is to see if the program helps them feel safer and reduces trauma-related symptoms.
