Distribution of vocational index categories across the study for those who have at least one time point of vocational data (n = 343)

2	Volunteering or postsecondary non-degree seeking education only (%)	5.5	4.0	5.2	3.5	4.5	4.6	4.5

	Number of attrition/missing (%)	2	21	29	56	87	104

Percentages reflect the number in each category divided by those who had exited high school at each time point (e.g. Percent in sheltered setting only at Time 1 is 53/164 or 32.3 %). Average percentages were calculated by dividing the sum in each category across all time points by the sum of those who exited high school across all time points
