Understanding Who Fares Well and How
This project investigated the role of individual characteristics on income, employment, and the use of public benefits programs in order to build an evidence base to improve strategies and interventions addressing the need for better employment outcomes for people with disabilities. The three research phases addressed gaps in the existing knowledge base, and dissemination activities involved a series of outreach projects designed to reach and engage key audiences.
