New Directions in Rehabilitation Counseling Research

Purpose The goal of the research was to describe discrimination, both actual and perceived, that has occurred against younger individuals with cancer (i.e., 35 years of age and under) in comparison with older individuals with cancer (i.e., over age 35) through analysis of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Integrated Mission System (IMS) database. Methods An ex post facto, causal comparative quantitative design was used to examine Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) Title I complaints received by the EEOC from younger people with cancer from 2009 through 2016 (n = 1001) in comparison with older people with cancer over the same time period (n = 8874). Results Results revealed statistically significant differences in the patterns of issues alleged by the two groups. When compared with older charging parties with cancer, the younger charging parties with cancer had proportionally more individuals who were male and who identified as African American and proportionally fewer individuals who identified as Caucasian. Conclusions Younger people with cancer were more likely to allege discrimination in the areas of promotion, training, reinstatement, and referrals to other employers. They were less likely to allege discrimination in the area of benefits. The younger group was also significantly less likely than the older group to find that EEOC investigations of their allegations resulted in merit-based case resolutions, that is, discrimination had indeed occurred. Implications for Cancer Survivors Psychosocial programs and vocational programming assisting young adults with career development should focus on the types of discrimination that young adults experience, which is unique compared with older adult cancer survivors.

PurposeRehabilitation counseling has seen many advances in evidence-based practice in the last decade. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of intervention literature conducted within rehabilitation counseling or related fields from the years 2007–2018.MethodA systematic review of rehabilitation research was conducted, and a total of 163 intervention studies were included in the final sample. Description and analysis include a summary of where and when manuscripts were published, aspects of the intervention (target population, setting, and desired change), and criteria for evaluation of the intervention.ResultsFindings show an increase in the use of intervention research during the period studied while also highlighting several patterns in rehabilitation research relating to the targeted samples, outcomes pursued, and the design of research.ConclusionsThere is much more intervention research being conducted related to rehabilitation counseling process and outcomes than is demonstrated in rehabilitation counseling journals. This systematic review provides a greater understanding of the progress being made through these international research efforts.
