Overview

Brief Summary

This research investigates the benefits of productive activity and cognitive rehabilitation for patients with schizophrenia. Key questions are:

  1. does cognitive rehabilitation plus work activity produce better outcomes than work activity alone?
  2. Is cognitive rehabilitation more helpful for individuals with moderate or greater cognitive impairment than for individuals without such impairment?
  3. Does cognitive rehabilitation reduce the dropout rate and increase participation in work activity for cognitively impaired subjects?
  4. What features of cognitive rehabilitation are most important for clinical and rehabilitation outcomes?

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, matching study in which subjects are stratified by degree of cognitive impairment, then randomly assigned to one of two conditions: Work Services Only vs. Work Services plus cognitive rehabilitation. Longitudinal analysis of work activity, work performance, symptoms, quality of life, cognitive function and service utilization are made.
