Research has shown that supported employment programs are effective in helping psychiatric outpatients achieve vocational outcomes, yet not all program participants are able to realize their employment goals. This study used 24 months of longitudinal data from a multisite study of supported employment interventions to examine the relationship of patient clinical factors to employment outcomes. Multivariate random regression analysis indicated that, even when controlling for an extensive series of demographic, study condition (experimental versus control), and work history covariates, clinical factors were associated with individuals’ ability to achieve competitive jobs and to work 40 or more hours per month. Poor self-rated functioning, negative psychiatric symptoms, and recent hospitalizations were most consistently associated with failure to achieve these employment outcomes. These findings suggest ways that providers can tailor supported employment programs to achieve success with a diverse array of clinical subpopulations.
