The usual care that Veterans receive - not limited in scope (i.e., subjects may participate in any/all available treatments, outside the study condition)

Part of the iCBT paradigm, a four month block of bi-weekly computerized cognitive remediation using BrainHQ program.

This is measure designed to assess individual social, work, and interpersonal functioning of individuals with severe mental illness. The possible total score ranges from 30 - 150 with higher scores representing higher levels of functioning.

Total of all reporting groups

Self-reported marital status at the time of entry into the study

The Brief Negative Symptom Scale total score has a possible range from 0 - 73, with higher scores indicating a higher level of negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

The Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms has a possible range from 0 - 170, with higher scores indicating higher levels of positive symptoms of schizophrenia.

This is the proportion of participants, by group, that attained at least one job during the active portion of the study.

Participants with diagnoses of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder seeking employment

This is a composite of hours work per week X number of weeks worked, in each assessment period.

Measure completed by the supported employment specialist that evaluates work quality in an employment setting, based on the job supervisor's report, using the overall impression rating, ranging from 1 (consistently needing improvement) to 5 (consistently superior performance). Only the job supervisor's was used, rather than other options possible with the measure.

Participants from both groups were very reluctant for the interventionists to obtain formal Work Behavior Inventory ratings from their employers. It was clear that insufficient data would be obtained and so efforts to complete it were abandoned. No data analysis was possible with this measure.

This is measure designed to assess individual social, work, and interpersonal functioning of individuals with severe mental illness. The possible total score ranges from 30 - 150 with higher scores representing higher levels of functioning.

The number of participants available for assessment at each time point varied due to the variability in willingness on the part of the participants to complete these interviews. Thus, data available at each time point for each group varied across time.

Treatment as Usual group (control group)

Inpatient hospitalization for reasons of planned or unplanned surgical procedure

Rectal bleeding

Admitted for observation due to fluid restriction

Weakness in legs, unknown origin

Admitted for colonoscopy

Admitted for hand injury

Admitted for "general medical purposes"--no other information availably

Blood infection that began with a urinary tract infection

Compare the groups on proportions in employment at the 12 month assessment points.

F (1, 130) = 1.0, p<0.37, for the group X assessment interaction, adjusting for baseline differences in hours worked at the start of the intervention.

A mixed effects logistic regression model was conducted on a binary work variable, with a random intercept, using the baseline measure as a binary covariate.

df (1, 114)

This is mixed model analysis of the group X assessment interaction. This analysis is the test of mean differences in level of functioning at the 12 month assessment.
