“…Qualitative rehabilitation researchers are working to incorporate cultural awareness into IPS programs. Certain competencies important to employment specialist performance are probably inseparable from cultural awareness, including empathy, professionalism, and honoring client preferences (Glover & Frounfelker, 2011a, 2011bWhitley, Kostick, & Bush, 2010). Whether or not cultural sensitivity training improves the effectiveness of services is uncertain (Solomon, 2008), but awareness of multicultural issues among service providers will likely enhance the service experience of IPS clients from diverse ethno-racial backgrounds.…”

BACKGROUND: Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based vocational rehabilitation intervention for people with severe mental illness. IPS emphasizes client choice, rapid job finding, competitive employment, team-oriented approaches, benefits counseling, and ongoing supports. OBJECTIVE: This paper summarizes 20 years of research on IPS, describes studies in the field now, and proposes priorities for future research. METHODS: To identify published and unpublished IPS research studies, we conducted an electronic search of qualitative and quantitative IPS studies, findings from recent reviews, and sought expert recommendation. RESULTS: Past research indicates that IPS supported employment is the most effective and cost-effective approach for helping people with psychiatric disabilities find and maintain competitive employment. Employment improves clinical, social, and economic outcomes. Current studies on IPS address several research gaps: IPS modification, generalizability, program settings, international dissemination, cultural awareness, and supportive technology. Looking forward, the field needs studies that report long-term outcomes, financing mechanisms, cost offsets, and standardized supported education models. CONCLUSIONS: While IPS is one of the most extensively studied of all vocational models, significant literature gaps remain.
