Short description

The overarching aim is to investigate whether persons with psychotic disorders who wish to work or study get equal and fair access to work/study rehabilitation.

In the first sub-study, ethnicity, age, gender, and work history are compared between those who have/have not taken part in the rehabilitation methods Individual Placement and Support (IPS) or Supported Education (SEd). In the second sub-study, staff members take part in interviews to explore how decisions are made regarding who should be referred for IPS/SEd. Persons who have migrated to Sweden and taken part in IPS/SEd will be interviewed in the third sub-study. Experiences of a) work/study while affected by serious psychiatric symptoms and b) experiences of IPS/SEd will be in focus. There are to date no Swedish studies investigating these questions.
