Dragon, M. 2013. Getting on the same page: Using a checklist to communicate environmental enrichment. Enrichment Record 15, 5-6.

Multiple species, study protocols and user needs make it difficult to develop a one-size-fits-all approach to standardizing enrichment. Fortunately, it turns out that there is a very simple solution to the complex issue of getting everyone on the same page—literally! A one-page enrichment checklist can be used to indicate enrichment strategies for each study protocol. This checklist indicates to Principal Investigators (PIs) which enrichment options are available, encourages them to make decisions based on animal behavior, and communicates to the animal care technicians on which enrichment strategies may be provided to the animals in a particular study.
