Notes: Results show the mean predicted values for the three employment outcomes with and without HAART. Sample sizes in the base case are 1,303 for return to work, 800 for remain employed, and 870 for hours of work. For the specification checks, the sample was restricted to the subpopulations as noted. Employer-sponsored insurance and participation in welfare programs are based on reports at either baseline or first follow-up. For employer-sponsored insurance, sample sizes are 409 (remain employed) and 393 hours of work. Information on coverage in previous jobs is unknown so the return to work case cannot be estimated. The sample size for nonparticipants in welfare programs in the scenario of return to work is 210.
