Career Transition Partnership Annual Statistics: UK Regular Service Personnel Employment
Abstract: This statistical bulletin provides summary statistics on employment outcomes, six months after leaving service, for UK regular and Gurkha service personnel who left the UK armed forces and accessed employment support provided by the Career Transition Partnership (CTP). The CTP supports service leavers in their transition from military to civilian life through a range of career and employment support services including workshops, one-to-one guidance and job finding support. There are three main employment outcomes: employed, unemployed and economically inactive (not in employment, but not actively looking for work). This Statistical bulletin presents top-level employment outcomes for service leavers in each financial year between 2014/15 and 2018/19, with further detail on employment outcomes by key demographics, employed occupations and reasons for economic inactivity for 2018/19 service leavers.
Abstract: IMPORTANCE: Veterans with occupational performance (e.g., activities of daily living [ADL]) limitations who are receiving inpatient psychiatric care may benefit from outpatient occupational therapy upon discharge, but access disparities have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether ADL limitations, an indicator of need, are associated with outpatient occupational therapy utilization after inpatient psychiatric hospitalization in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and whether this relationship differs by facility characteristics. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of VHA medical record data. Modified Poisson regression was used to model outpatient occupational therapy utilization (yes or no) as a function of ADL limitations, facility characteristics, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Interactions were used to estimate whether the relationship between ADL limitations and outpatient occupational therapy utilization differs across facility characteristics. SETTING: VHA outpatient setting. PARTICIPANTS: Veterans who received VHA inpatient psychiatric care from 2015 to 2020 and lived
