Abstract
<p class="first" id="d1027027e99">The positive effects of animal-assisted interventions
(AAIs) in people with dementia
have been frequently reported in the literature. However, it remains unclear if the
positive effects are directly due to the presence of the animal. The aim of this study
was to investigate if the inclusion of an animal adds value to psychosocial interventions
for people with dementia.
