Achtergrond van het onderzoek
A high proportion of people with severe mental health problems are unemployed but would like to work.
In the US Individual Placement and Support has proved an effective method in establishing people in paid employment.
To investigate the (cost-)effectiveness of IPS outside the US a randomised trail was conducted in six European countries.
Three hunderd people were randomised to receive either IPS or vocational rehabilitation and were followed for 18 months. service data were collected respectively at baseline and over the subsequent 18 months.
Outcome related data were also collected. Costs were calculated using both local and national unit costfigures.
A cost-effectiveness analysis will be conducted with achievement of (open, paid) employment as the primary outcome and other vocational achievements, clinical improvements and hospital admission as secondary outcomes.
Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves will be plotted, distinguishing country effects.
Doel van het onderzoek
Individual Placement and Supported will be cost-effective in achieving regular (open, paid) employment. Differences between countries in the effectiveness of IPS can be explained by socio-economic variables like the employment rate and for instance the existence of a 'benefit trap'.
