This study examined the impact of criminal justice involvement on competitive employment outcomes for clients with severe mental illness enrolled in supported employment. Based on chart reviews of 154 clients enrolled in supported employment, the CJI and no CJI groups differed on several clinical and demographic variables, but did not differ on competitive employment outcomes. This study suggests that clients with criminal justice involvement do benefit from supported employment. Further research should track employment outcomes for a longer interval with a larger study group in order to provide a more complete picture of the extent to which CJI impacts employment.
本研究考察了刑事司法涉入对接受支持性就业服务的严重精神疾病患者竞争就业结果的影响。基于对 154 名参加支持性就业服务的患者的图表审查，有刑事司法涉入和无刑事司法涉入的两组在几个临床和人口统计学变量上存在差异，但在竞争就业结果上没有差异。本研究表明，有刑事司法涉入的患者确实从支持性就业中受益。为了更全面地了解刑事司法涉入对就业的影响程度，进一步的研究应该在更长的时间间隔内跟踪更大的研究组的就业结果。
