abstract: 'Objective: To identify the factors that help and hinder the

  implementation of individual placement and support (IPS) practices in

  the Aotearoa/New Zealand (Aotearoa/NZ) context. Methods: An examination

  of the conceptual and empirical literature on IPS implementation in

  Aotearoa/NZ and a prospective cohort study of people with mental

  illnesses and/or methamphetamine addiction participating in a newly

  established IPS program. Results: IPS programs have been operating in

  Aotearoa/NZ for more than 10 years, but coverage across the country is

  patchy and access inequitable. Previous public policy, contracting, and

  funding systems limited the availability of IPS programs, and in some

  cases operated as a barrier to the provision of integrated health and

  employment services. There is an opportunity for change, with a greater

  focus in government policy on mental health and addiction and achieving

  equity, a plan for cross-government policy solutions, and a recently

  established technical assistance organization to support new and

  existing IPS implementation. Facilitating implementation conditions

  include technical assistance, service integration, supportive

  contracting, and attention to culture. In 1 program where these

  conditions were in place from the outset, IPS fidelity reached 107/125;

  41.1\% of participants had commenced employment; and the program was

  achieving equity of engagement and outcomes for indigenous Maori people

  within 15 months of program establishment. Conclusions and implications

  for practice: Although IPS programs have been successfully implemented

  in Aotearoa/NZ, availability and access to them remains limited.

  Identifying the enablers and barriers to IPS implementation specific to

  the Aotearoa/NZ context could inform future IPS implementation and

  national program scale-up.'
