abstract: 'Objectives: To examine issues of employment and race for persons with
|
|
|
|
spinal cord injury (SCI), by assessing the type of work that was being
|
|
|
|
done before and after injury and by placing this in the context of
|
|
|
|
patterns for the general population.
|
|
|
|
Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional analysis.
|
|
|
|
Setting: Centers funded as part of the federally sponsored Model Spinal
|
|
|
|
Cord Injury Systems (MSCIS) Project.
|
|
|
|
Participants: Two samples: 5925 African Americans and whites with SCI
|
|
|
|
who are part of the MSCIS and a subset of 577 people with SCI.
|
|
|
|
Interventions: Not applicable.
|
|
|
|
Main Outcome Measures: Demographic information, occupational status,
|
|
|
|
employment rate, job census codes, Craig Hospital Assessment and
|
|
|
|
Reporting Technique-Short Form, and Satisfaction With Life Scale.
|
|
|
|
Results: Racial disparities were found in employment rates before injury
|
|
|
|
and at 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after SCI. Differences were also found
|
|
|
|
in the types of jobs that were held before SCI with patterns for
|
|
|
|
participants similar to those of African Americans and whites in the
|
|
|
|
general population. No differences were found in the types of jobs held
|
|
|
|
by African Americans and whites with SCI at 1 year after injury. After
|
|
|
|
injury, African Americans had lower economic self-sufficiency scores,
|
|
|
|
regardless of employment status, and lower social integration scores
|
|
|
|
among those who were not employed.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Racial disparities found in employment patterns among
|
|
|
|
persons with SCI mirrored patterns among the general population.'
