Integrated Scaling Approach: A Model for Large Scale Implementation of Effective Interventions for Employment - “Scaling up” evidence based employment practices (EBP) involves increasing access to effective programs in order to benefit more people over time. Despite having effective employment practices for people with psychiatric disabilities, widespread implementation remains difficult due to factors such as the resource intensive methods traditionally used, negative stakeholder attitudes towards work for people with psychiatric disabilities and lack of knowledge about existing EBPs. The goal of the proposed project is to more efficiently expand delivery of effective employment interventions, by developing a comprehensive, integrated approach that increases the demand for and the supply of such practices, through interactive technology and personal contact. We will focus on two Development Stages (Proof of Concept and Proof of Product) through four objectives: 1) establish the conceptual elements of an innovative approach for scaling up employment interventions, designed for people with psychiatric disabilities (“Integrated Scaling Approach: ISA”); 2) test a working prototype for ISA; 3) evaluate the resulting product and 4) transferring the technique for others to use in scaling up future effective employment interventions. The intended outcomes include a better understanding of large scale implementation of new employment practices; more providers with increased skills in new employment practices across several states and more agencies with the capacity to embed such practices. Project products will include: a systematic review of the scaling literature; scaling up of the two practices; a certificate program; two toolkits to promote positive messages about work for people with psychiatric disabilities; an ISA Handbook; an evaluation of the approach itself and the application of these learnings to other sites, states, providers and stakeholders.
