To implement the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) approach at 4 locations in regional New South Wales, Australia. Outcomes attained were compared with a national non-IPS program and with international trials of IPS within and outside the United States.
Four IPS programs were established through formal partnerships between mental health services and disability employment services. Ninety-five mental health service clients commenced employment assistance and were tracked for a minimum of 12 months.
Two sites achieved good fidelity to IPS principles, and 2 sites achieved fair fidelity. IPS clients had 3.5 times greater odds of attaining 13 weeks' employment than those receiving assistance in the national network of disability employment services.
Implementing IPS is challenging in the Australian service delivery context. Factors other than program fidelity appear to contribute to excellent employment outcomes. Further research is needed to identify these factors.
在澳大利亚新南威尔士州地区的4个地点实施个人安置与支持（IPS）方法。将所取得的成果与一项全国性非IPS项目以及美国国内外的IPS国际试验进行比较。
通过心理健康服务机构与残疾就业服务机构之间的正式合作建立了4个IPS项目。95名心理健康服务客户开始接受就业援助，并被跟踪至少12个月。
2个地点对IPS原则的遵循情况良好，2个地点的遵循情况尚可。与在全国残疾就业服务网络中接受援助的人相比，IPS客户获得13周就业机会的几率高出3.5倍。
在澳大利亚的服务提供背景下实施IPS具有挑战性。除了项目遵循情况外，其他因素似乎也有助于取得出色的就业成果。需要进一步研究以确定这些因素。
