This 1982 study was a retrospective comparison of vocational outcome between eight state rehabilitation agencies and the University of Washington Epilepsy Center's Vocational Unit for the years 1977-1978. Hypotheses included: (a) A significantly higher portion of those with epilepsy will find employment through a specialized (i.e., Epilepsy Center) versus a general rehabilitation program. (b) A specialized program will have a significantly lower proportion of program dropouts. (c) Those finding jobs through a specialized program will earn higher salaries and have better job retention than those employing a general agency program. On several comparisons the specialized program outperformed the general agencies--higher proportion of successful job placements and lower proportions of dropouts and those remaining in process (all chi2 tests significant at the p less than 0.001 level). Placement rates for specialized programs have traditionally approximated 50%, whereas these state agencies placed from 9 to 21%. Salary level and job retention differences were inconclusive. Data implications are discussed.
这项1982年的研究是对1977 - 1978年间八个州康复机构与华盛顿大学癫痫中心职业部门的职业成果进行的回顾性比较。假设包括：(a) 与普通康复项目相比，癫痫患者通过专门的（即癫痫中心）项目找到工作的比例会显著更高。(b) 专门项目的项目退出率会显著更低。(c) 通过专门项目找到工作的人比通过普通机构项目找到工作的人薪水更高，工作保留率更好。在多项比较中，专门项目的表现优于普通机构——成功就业安置的比例更高，退出率和仍在进行中的比例更低（所有卡方检验在p小于0.001水平时显著）。专门项目的安置率传统上约为50%，而这些州机构的安置率为9%至21%。薪资水平和工作保留差异尚无定论。文中讨论了数据的影响。
