abstract: 'Poverty is associated with poor health and affects many United States
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
residents. The therapeutic workplace, an operant intervention designed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to treat unemployed adults with histories of drug addiction, could form
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the basis for an effective antipoverty program. Under the therapeutic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workplace, participants receive pay for work. To promote drug abstinence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or medication adherence, participants must provide drug-free urine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
samples or take scheduled doses of medication, respectively, to maintain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
maximum pay. Therapeutic workplace participants receive job-skills
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
training in Phase 1 and perform income-producing jobs in Phase 2. Many
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployed, drug-addicted adults lack skills they would need to obtain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-skilled and high-paying jobs. Many of these individuals attend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
therapeutic workplace training reliably, but only when offered stipends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for attendance. They also work on training programs reliably, but only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when they earn stipends for performance on training programs. A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
therapeutic workplace social business can promote employment, although
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
special contingencies may be needed to ensure that participants are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
punctual and work entire work shifts, and social businesses do not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reliably promote community employment. Therapeutic workplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants work with an employment specialist to seek community
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, but primarily when they earn financial incentives. Reducing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty is more challenging than promoting employment, because it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
requires promoting employment in higher paying, full-time and steady
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jobs. Although a daunting challenge, promoting the type of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
needed to reduce poverty is an important goal, both because of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
obvious benefit in reducing poverty itself and in the potential
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
secondary benefit of reducing poverty-related health disparities.'
