Notes

  1. Engagement in services were operationalized as follows: A participant who was rated as not at all engaged in employment or educational services came to only one or two scheduled meetings, did not return phone calls from the specialist, and/or did not receive a meaningful amount of services. At the other end of the continuum are individuals who were very engaged in services based on attending scheduled meetings; developing a strong, trusting, and open relationship with the specialist; and expressing a willingness to learn and practice new skills related to their stated goals. Individuals who were in between these ratings were rated as somewhat engaged. If a participant worked with more than one specialist, ratings of specialists were averaged.

  2. Educational background was collapsed into three categories for analysis: (1) Less than a GED/high school degree, (2) post-high school or some college, and (3) college graduate or above.

  3. Vocational and educational activities were coded as: (1) working, volunteering, in school, or a training program or (0) no involvement in vocational or educational activities.
