(VR-JIT) and (VIT-TAY) demonstrated initial effectiveness at increasing employment among transition-age youth with disabilities engaged in pre-employment transition services. We characterized activities and estimated the labor and non-labor costs required to prepare schools to implement VR-JIT or VIT-TAY. Implementation preparation and support teams reported labor hours throughout the implementation preparation process. Implementation preparation labor hours at 43 schools cost approximately $1,427 per school, while non-labor costs were $100 per trainee (student). We estimated the replication of implementation preparation labor activities would cost $1,024 per school (range: $841-$1,208). Most costs were spent in delivery planning and teacher training. Given that implementation preparation costs can be barriers to intervention adoption, our results provide critical information for contemplating future implementation of VR-JIT or VIT-TAY.
(VR-JIT)和(VIT-TAY)在增加参与就业前过渡服务的残疾过渡年龄青年的就业方面显示出初步成效。我们对活动进行了描述,并估计了学校实施VR-JIT或VIT-TAY所需的劳动力和非劳动力成本。实施准备和支持团队在整个实施准备过程中报告了劳动时间。43所学校的实施准备劳动时间平均每所学校约为1427美元,而非劳动力成本为每名学员(学生)100美元。我们估计,实施准备劳动活动的复制成本每所学校为1024美元(范围:841美元至1208美元)。大部分成本用于交付计划和教师培训。鉴于实施准备成本可能成为采用干预措施的障碍,我们的结果为考虑未来实施VR-JIT或VIT-TAY提供了关键信息。
