Official title
Work as a Determinant of Health: A Pragmatic Trial of Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Bolster Competitive Work and Wellness in Veterans With Serious Mental Illness (WORKWELL)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Vocational instability in Veterans with serious mental illness (SMI) is pervasive, costly, and harmful. Over 75% of Veterans with SMI are unemployed, resulting in economic difficulties and trouble meeting basic needs. Overall, among adults with depression, work dysfunction results in a 36 to 51 billion dollar loss annually. Unemployed Veterans with SMI also suffer major health consequences, including a more severe course of illness and poor recovery over time, leading to increased inpatient and emergency service use. The WORKWELL study will synergistically address these deficits in health, recovery, and work functioning by testing the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Work Success (CBTw) intervention. Using a pragmatic design, this project will address work as a major social determinant of health and close the health disparity gap among people with SMI. Further, through promotion of work and healthy thinking, CBTw holds promise to reduce risk of suicide among vulnerable veterans with SMI.
