abstract: 'Supported employment is an evidence-based practice with a

  well-established research base. Most studies track such outcomes as

  employment rates, time to employment and wages earned. Few studies

  address client and contextual factors that impact outcomes or consider

  program elements beyond those that comprise the individual placement and

  support model. This paper reviews existing literature to shed light on

  the following questions: (1) What impact do labour market trends have on

  the effectiveness of SE? (2) How lasting are the effects of SE and what

  factors influence longevity of SE effects? (3) What levels and types of

  employment are targeted by SE? (4) What are the characteristics of

  people who benefit from SE? (5) What is the role of peer support in SE?

  and (6) What are the barriers to effective SE implementation? Research

  findings are synthesized and suggestions for service enhancements are

  offered so that the model can continue to evolve.'
