Individual placement and support and employment in personality disorders: a registry based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the relative impact of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in patients with personality disorders (PDs) as compared to patients with other mental disorders.

Methods

Data from the Dutch Employee Insurance Agency of participants enrolled in a national IPS trajectory between 2008 and 2018 were linked to corresponding data on employment outcomes, diagnostic and sociodemographic information from Statistics Netherlands. This resulted in a sample of 335 participants with PDs who could be compared with 1073 participants with other mental disorders.

Results

Participants with PD just as often found competitive employment as participants with other mental disorders (37.6% vs. 38.0%, OR_adjusted = 0.97, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74 to 1.27)
