This web cast will present a model of disability disparities. Though the concept of health disparities is discussed in the health care literature, there is no such model that explicitly addresses disparities in the disability literature. Therefore, this model begins to fill a void in the disability literature.

The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based model of supported employment for individuals with severe mental illness. However, little is known about the nature and intensity of follow-along support in IPS programs or how IPS helps clients become steady workers over the long term. This webcast summarizes the findings for a two-year follow-up study of follow-along support and employment outcomes for 142 IPS clients. We found that mean job tenure for IPS clients was twice that reported in the literature. We also found a significant association between frequency of follow-along contact and duration of employment. I discuss the study’s implications for specifying the employment specialist role after a job start and for enhancing the effectiveness of the IPS model with regard to job tenure.
