Study of the Alliance180 Programs Impact on Physical and Mental Well-Being in Adults Who Are or Were US Veterans, First Responders, or Front Line Healthcare Workers

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the effects of the Alliance180 Program on the physical and psychological well-being of adults who are or were US Veterans, First Responders, and Front Line Healthcare Workers. The study focuses on how this program impacts feelings of safety, mental health issues like depression and anxiety, trauma response, and autonomic functioning. The investigation aims to understand these effects before and after the intervention to support this group experiencing trauma-related symptoms. Participants will take part in the 3-day Alliance180 Program, which includes a transformative equine experience designed to promote feelings of safety and trust. All participants follow the same study protocol without comparison groups. The program is delivered remotely with all data collected through online surveys before the program starts and then again at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after completion. During the study, participants complete self-report questionnaires assessing trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, perception of safety, body awareness, and purpose in life. These assessments occur at baseline and at various follow-up times to track changes over time. The main outcomes focus on changes in anxiety and depression scores at one month, with additional measures monitored up to six months after the program. The entire participation period spans about half a year following the initial program.
