Abstract:
The overall purpose of the Building Evidence on Employment Strategies (BEES) study is to conduct rigorous evaluations of innovative interventions aimed at improving employment outcomes, advances in the labor market, and economic security for low-income individuals and families. Populations of particular interest for BEES include individuals facing substance and opioid use disorders, disability or mental health challenges, and their families; criminal justice-involved populations; or others at increased risk of enrolling in TANF or SSI/SSDI. While the target population and domains may vary, all interventions will include an employment services component. BEES includes impact and/or implementation studies of 20 different programs. OMB initially approved data collection instruments for the BEES Study in November 2019. As described in the justification package for this study, approved instruments may be tailored to specific sites as they are recruited. Multiple BEES sites focused on delivering employment services using the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model. This request includes a tailored 12-month follow-up survey (Attachment K: 12- to 18-Month Follow-Up Participant Survey) for participants in one of these sites that offers IPS services to TANF and SNAP recipients.
