First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a program called Individual Placement and Support (IPS) that helps people with severe mental disorders find regular jobs. It compares IPS to the usual way of getting help from social workers. The goal is to see if IPS is worth the extra cost by measuring how many more days people work. About 234 adults in France who are unemployed and want to work will take part.
