Predictors of employment for people with severe mental illness: results of an international six-centre randomised controlled trial (original) (raw)

2008, The British Journal of Psychiatry

AI-generated Abstract

This research evaluates predictors of employment outcomes for individuals with severe mental illness through a six-centre randomized controlled trial comparing the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model to traditional vocational rehabilitation methods. The study, involving 312 participants across multiple European locations, identifies demographic, illness-related, and service delivery characteristics that impact the likelihood of gaining and maintaining competitive employment. Results indicate that IPS significantly enhances employment access, and specific factors such as prior work history, baseline functioning, and service features correlate with better vocational outcomes.
