Targeted Job Information Interventions

Access to return-to-work programs may be helpful in obtaining employment for those post SCI. These programs include information on general work skills and job specific skills. Engaging in employment skills programs can help to improve individuals’ self-confidence (Dorstyn et al. 2023).

Discussion

In an RCT, participants were randomized to a return-to-work intervention group or a wait list control group. The study found no significant difference between the two groups on outcomes of depression post intervention.

Conclusion

There is level 2 evidence that return-to-work interventions may not improve symptoms of depression post SCI.
