This dissertation by Martina Lundqvist offers a comprehensive health technology assessment of assistance dogs and dog-assisted interventions. It explores the roles of service, hearing, and diabetes alert dogs in improving the quality of life and well-being of individuals with disabilities. The study employs various methods, including statistical analysis and thematic content analysis, to evaluate the physical, psychosocial, and economic impacts of these dogs. The research highlights the cost-effectiveness of assistance dogs compared to regular companion dogs and examines the therapeutic benefits of dog-assisted interventions in healthcare settings. This work aims to fill gaps in evaluating the effects and costs of working dogs, targeting researchers and healthcare professionals.
