a

d refer to standized mean difference effect size.

b

All continuous outcome variables log transformed for significance testing.

c

Covariates were work history (weeks worked in past 5 years), ethicity (Caucasian/other), diagnosis (psychotic disorder/other)

*

One case in IPS was missing hours data.

Wage was adjusted into August 2012 dollars using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
