“…Within the IPS research literature, we found evidence of implementation in Canada (Latimer, Lecomte, Becker, Drake, Duclos, Piat, Lahaie, St-Pierre, et al, 2006), the U.K. (Rinaldi, Miller, & Perkins, 2010;Schneider & Akhtar, 2012), the Netherlands (Michon, Busschbach, van Vugt, Stant, Kroon, Wiersma, & van Weeghel, 2011;van Erp et al, 2007b), Belgium (Knaeps, DeSmet, & Van Audenhove, 2011, Germany (Burns et al, 2007), Bulgaria (Burns et al, 2007), Italy (Burns et al, 2007), Spain (Sala & Dalmau, 2013), Switzerland (Hoffmann, Jäckel, Glauser, & Kupper, 2011), Sweden (Bejerholm, Larsson, & Hofgren, 2011;Nygren, Markstrom, Svensson, Hansson, & Sandlund, 2011), Australia (Waghorn, Collister, Killackey, & Sherring, 2007), New Zealand (Browne, Wright, Waghorn, & Stephenson, 2009), China (Wong et al, 2008a), and Japan (Oshima, 2011).

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 METHODS: To identify published and unpublished IPS research studies, we conducted an electronic search of qualitative and quantitative IPS studies, findings from recent reviews, and sought expert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.
