Helping Young Adults Succeed at Work and School Through IPS Supported Employment - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for young adults with psychiatric disabilities, a priority population in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. IPS, an evidence-based model, has not yet been adequately studied in this population. In collaboration with the IPS Learning Community (a network comprised of state vocational rehabilitation and mental health leaders, clients, and others from 24 states and 300 IPS programs), Westat will conduct a mixed-methods, prospective, 1-year cohort study of 150 young adults (ages 16-24) with psychiatric disabilities enrolled in 10 established IPS programs in five geographically diverse states. The objectives of the quantitative component are to examine: (1) the range of young adult populations served, (2) organizational adaptations of IPS services, (3) employment and education outcomes over a 12-month followup period, (4) IPS fidelity using a newly-developed adaptation of a standard scale, (5) the correlation between IPS fidelity and client outcomes, and (6) client factors associated with better outcomes. The objectives of the qualitative component are to examine: (1) barriers to employment and education, (2) interagency collaborations, and (3) organizational, financial, and system barriers. Anticipated outcomes include: (1) formation of the IPS Young Adult Network, a mini-learning community embedded within the IPS Learning Community, (2) improved employment and education outcomes for 150 young adults, and (3) dissemination of knowledge within participating states, nationally at annual IPS Learning Community conferences, and at our website, https://ipsworks.org. Products include resource materials to assist state leaders and IPS practitioners working with young adults, and a well validated fidelity scale for the young adult population.
