TL;DRAbstract

Simple baseline social and disease characteristics can be used to identify groups of persons accepted for vocational rehabilitation services with musculoskeletal disability with differing rates of vocational rehabilitation. Disability benefit status and education level are important predictors of return to work after agency services. These findings can lead to the development of strategies to improve the efficacy of vocational rehabilitation services.
