Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine whether perceived physical, financial, and psychological barriers (e.g., negative attitudes about returning to work), demographic, social-support, and work-related variables predicted successful rehabilitation among clients exiting a state-federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) system. A logistic regression was conducted with successful employment as the outcome. Participants' age, employers' participation in a Tax Break program, and having Medicaid at application were significant predictors of successful rehabilitation in the full model, while the first two variables (i.e., age and employers' participation in a work incentive) were significant predictors in the trimmed model. These findings are briefly discussed in terms of rehabilitation implications and directions for future research.
