Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this randomized controlled trial, the researchers investigated the effectiveness of integrated supported employment (ISE) as compared with individual placement and support (IPS) and traditional vocational rehabilitation (TVR) for people with schizophrenia in mainland China.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One hundred and sixty-two participants with schizophrenia were randomly assigned to ISE (n = 54), IPS (n = 54), and or TVR (n = 54). Blinded assessments of employment status, job tenure, and psychological outcomes were conducted at admission, completion of the 3-mo program, and follow-up at 7, 11, and 15 mo.
