520 $a Work-related disability is one of the most costly and prevalent health problems facing employees, employers, insurers and policy makers. According to the National Safety Council in 2006, work injuries cost Americans $1 60 billion in 2005, which amounts to $1 ,170 per worker. Vocational rehabilitation services are often part of the benefits offered to employees who work related injuries. Based on the annual report by the National Council on Compensation Insurance in 2004, the rate of successful return to work among injured workers after vocational services varies by state, ranging from 60% to 85%. Butler, Johnson, and Baldwin (1995) found that the rate of successful return to employment is most often measured by first return to work, which may not properly reflect the rate of job retention over a longer time period or reflect a permanent, stable outcome.
520 $a This retrospective cohort study analyzed vocational service data from Individual Written Rehabilitation Plans (IWRP) and Closure Forms from the MA Department of Industrial Accidents in combination with post-employment job retention interview data from a study completed by the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety. These individuals had successfully returned to work after a work-related injury as part of a vocational rehabilitation plan. Pre- and post-employment data and the type of vocational rehabilitation services received were analyzed to assess their association with job retention. The research questions explored were: What is the relationship between the vocational services and the job an individual is placed in as part of an Individual Written Rehabilitation Plan and job retention, and what is the relationship between the individual characteristics, vocational rehabilitation service factors and employment characteristic factors and job retention?
520 $a The Multiple regression analysis indicated that the variables that were positively related to job retention were younger age and within this sample a shorter time from the DOI-IWRP. In the linear regression of the factors associated (p < .05) with an increasing time from DOI-IWRP, were older age and having an impairment of the upper extremity basis.
