Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop the Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies(EAAT) screening tool for children and adolescents, which can be available for the EAAT instructors to screen potential participants in the riding center. The preliminary screening tool was developed by six experts and several international guidelines were used for the references. A two-round Delphi study was performed with 23 experts. Panel members were asked to rate their (dis)agreement with each tool's item on an 11-point scale. The consensus was considered to be reached when the item was scored more than 8. The consensus was reached on 39 items out of 48, resulting the final screening tool's items are to be 39. The resulting screening tool could contribute to make safer EAAT settings for participants and the future investigations in adult subjects will be needed.
