Health and well-being of homeless veterans participating in transitional and supported employment: Six-month outcomes
Meaghan Leddy, PhD, et al.
This article evaluates the outcomes of various
employment patterns: (1) never worked, (2) transitional
work experience only, (3) transitional work
experience followed by competitive employment,
(4) competitive employment without individualized
placement and support, and (5) competitive employment
with individualized placement and support referral.
Both supported employment and transitional
work experiences are currently offered by the Department
of Veterans Affairs. This observational study
is the first to directly compare these two programs,
particularly with regard to non-vocational outcomes,
such as quality of life and self-esteem. Clarifying the
benefits of each program can help tailor employment
services such that Veteran outcomes are improved.
