Abstract
This study presents results of research that examines the psychological effects on industrially injured workers of Mexican origin of early versus late referral to the California workers' compensation vocational rehabilitation system. The findings of this study showed that depression, self-esteem, and dependency as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-168 (MMPI-168), the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS), and the Personality Research Form E (PRF-E) respectively were significantly affected by the length of time of referral between injury and vocational, rehabilitation services.
