Highlights

  • This study used a sequential response model of conditional probabilities to examine the impact of characteristics of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients on participation in the New York WORKS project. The analysis showed how individual characteristics were related to responses at each of four stages of the program recruitment process and how they contributed to the overall likelihood of enrollment.
  • New York WORKS targeted people with a primary medical diagnosis of psychiatric illness. Characteristics examined in the study for their relationship to completion of enrollment included demographics, psychiatric diagnosis, and past employment and earnings.
  • The study found that the relationship between the characteristics of SSI recipients and the outcomes at each stage of the recruitment process contributed to the overall likelihood of enrollment.
