Fidelity and IPS: does quality of implementation predict vocational outcomes over time for organizations treating persons with severe mental illness in the Netherlands?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIndividual placement and support (IPS) is an evidence-based supported employment intervention. Quality of IPS implementation is assessed using a validated fidelity scale. Previous studies found a positive association between fidelity and employment outcomes at a single time-point. This study examines the longitudinal associations between IPS fidelity scores and employment outcomes.
methodsWe examined fidelity and employment outcome data for 27 IPS programs in the Netherlands providing IPS. These programs received at least one fidelity assessment and reported quarterly employment outcomes for at least one year to a central registry between 2014 and 2019. We first examined changes over time for fidelity and employment outcome. Then we analyzed the longitudinal associations between the quarterly employment outcomes and the IPS fidelity assessments on multiple time-points using a mixed-model analysis for the 17 programs with at least two fidelity assessments.
resultsBoth IPS fidelity and employment outcomes improved over time, with the largest improvement in employment outcomes achieved after 18 months of implementation. We found a significant positive longitudinal association between IPS-fidelity and employment.
conclusionsImprovement of fidelity is associated with improvement of employment outcomes over time. Future research should be focused on the improvement of specific elements of IPS implementation and their influence on employment outcomes.
