随着每年有大量患有精神疾病和药物依赖的被监禁退伍军人重返社区，迫切需要能够帮助他们重新就业的技术。这项研究评估了三种援助方法：(1)基本职业服务，(2)自学为以前被监禁的退伍军人设计的职业手册，以及(3)由职业工作人员领导的使用职业手册的小组。我们评估了69名退伍军人，以确定在登记参加研究后的3个月内找到工作的人数。团体形式预期优于自学，自学预期优于基本服务。虽然小组形式被发现优于自学和基本服务，但自学和基本服务的结果在统计上是相似的。文中还讨论了进一步改进的局限性和方向。
With the high number of incarcerated veterans with mental illness and substance dependence returning to the community annually, a significant need exists for technologies that will help them return to employment. This study evaluates three methods of assistance: (1) basic vocational services, (2) self-study of a vocational manual designed for formerly incarcerated veterans, and (3) a group led by vocational staff using the vocational manual. We evaluated 69 veterans to determine the number finding employment within 3 months after enrollment in the study. The group format was expected to be superior to self-study, and self-study was expected to be superior to basic services. Though the group format was found to be superior to both self-study and basic services, the results for self-study and basic services were statistically similar. Limitations and directions for future refinement are discussed.
