Work Disincentives

Numerous studies have focused on the predictors of successful closure of state-federal vocational rehabilitation (VR) applicants. However, there appears to be only one study focused solely on the predictors of employment with persons who were deemed eligible for services based on their alcohol or drug abuse diagnosis. This retrospective study examined the predictors of employment among this population. A sample of 940 persons with a primary or secondary diagnosis of alcohol or drug abuse and a closure status of 26 or 28 was randomly selected from the 2005 Rehabilitation Service Administration (RSA) 911 data. A combination of consumer characteristics, VR service variables, and work disincentives predicted employment. Knowledge of these predictors suggests ways for counselors to better serve consumers via accurate assessment, appropriate planning, and efficient case coordination.

The Relationship

Exposure to childhood maltreatment (CM) is associated with increased risk for developing substance use disorders (SUDs). CM exerts negative effects on cognitive abilities including intellectual performance, memory, attention, and executive function. Parallel cognitive impairments have been observed in SUDs. Hence, limited studies have examined the mediating effect of cognitive impairments in the relationship between CM and SUDs. In addition, most studies used concurrent self-report assessments in adult populations. Longitudinal studies that investigated the long-term consequences of CM on psychopathology, including SUDs, throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood are rare. Thus, the underlying developmental pathways between CM and SUDs are not clearly understood. In this article, we review the evidence that cognitive impairments mediate, at least in part, the relationship between CM and development of SUDs and propose a model that explains how CM increases the risk for SUDs through the development of a cognitive framework of vulnerability.
