PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR INCLUDING DVMAs IN RESEARCHIn this section we provide a researcher’s guide to promoting the health and well-being of DVMAs. With the challenges and barriers to conducting researchwith DVMAs discussed above in mind, we review best practices to improve inclusion of DVMAs in research. Though our focus is on best practices, these are intended as guiding principles and should not discourage more limited forays into data collection with and about DVMAs, as long as they follow ethical guidelines.
