Cumulative employment rates published by randomized trials are based on each enrollee's pre-planned 18-24-months of study participation. By contrast, community programs typically report employment rates for clients active in services during a calendar quarter. Using data from three supported employment programs in randomized trials, we show that trial cumulative employment rates are about twice as large as quarterly employment rates for the same program. Therefore, we recommend that administrators, service networks, and mental health authorities begin to publish quarterly employment rates, and quarterly median earnings, to allow policymakers to set realistic performance expectations for supported employment programs.
随机试验公布的累计就业率是基于每个入组者预先计划的 18-24 个月的研究参与。相比之下，社区项目通常报告在一个日历季度内活跃于服务的客户的就业率。我们使用来自随机试验中的三个支持性就业项目的数据表明，试验累计就业率大约是相同项目季度就业率的两倍。因此，我们建议管理人员、服务网络和精神卫生部门开始公布季度就业率和季度中位数收入，以便政策制定者为支持性就业项目设定现实的绩效预期。
