Efficacy of Supported Employment Within the OIF/OEF Patient Aligned Care Team
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Treatment as Usual Vocational Rehabilitation/Transitional Work (TUA-VR) for Mental Disorder and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 119 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In response to the Rehabilitation Research and Development (RR\&D) Deployment Health Research, this study addresses the delivery of an evidenced-based vocational rehabilitation, specifically Individual Placement and Support (IPS), for Veterans who are facing unemployment and mental illness as they try to recovery and re-establish civilian life. This study provides the requisite evidence needed to guide the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) as to whether to expand the target population for IPS to Veterans with any mental disorder, delivered directly within the primary care setting (i.e. Patient Aligned Care Team; PACT). Such modifications in VHA practice could substantially improve Veteran vocational rehabilitation access and outcomes, moving a significantly greater number of disabled Veterans back to full and productive lives in the community.
