Description
Summary:This article was designed to consolidate literature (1991 to present) regarding the relationship between a variety of independent variables and employment outcome following traumatic brain injury. Of the sixteen articles reviewed, researchers most frequently examined the relationships of the following variables to employment: education, age, and severity measures. Somewhat less frequently, studies were identified that examined verbal measures, gender, DRS scores, marital status, Performance IQ and race, in descending order. We have attempted to show how research can be applied to assessment and vocational planning in rehabilitation settings and have suggested that the current article serve as a catalyst for further research.
