Tor Helge Holmås, Karin Monstad, Silje Endresen Rème
Abstract
• Individual placement and support (IPS) investigated in moderate/severe mental illness. • We document the long-term effects of IPS in Norway using an RCT and registry data. • Effects were particularly large for younger individuals with low education. • IPS proves to increase regular employment during a 43 months follow-up period. • IPS is cost-effective compared to treatment-as-usual.
