title: Analyzing vocational outcomes of individuals with psychiatric disabilities who received state vocational rehabilitation services: a data mining approach.
abstract: This study examines factors affecting vocational outcomes in the vocational rehabilitation process for individuals experiencing psychiatric disabilities who had received state vocational rehabilitation (VR) services. A data mining approach was used to analyze the Rehabilitation Services Administration FY 2001 Case Service Report (RSA-911). Receiving job placement services was found to be the most important variable differentiating individuals who were working from those who were not working. Results regarding vocational outcomes suggest a positive effect for persons receiving job placement services.
