OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which previous findings on the effectiveness of resource facilitation to impact return to work and school could be replicated. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Outpatient rehabilitation clinic. @entity1 : Outpatients with acquired @entity1545 (N=44). INTERVENTION: Fifteen months of resource facilitation services. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A revised version of the Vocational Independence Scale and the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 Participation Index. RESULTS: @entity1 randomized to the resource facilitation group demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of rate and timing of return to productive community-based work relative to control @entity1 . When examining only return to competitive work (and not return to school), 69% of the resource facilitation group was able to return compared with 50% of the control @entity1 . Analyses of measures of participation in household and community activities revealed that both groups improved significantly over the 15-month study period, but no significant advantage for either group was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: This study replicates the positive impact of resource facilitation in improving productive community-based activity, including competitive employment and volunteering in the community.
