Summary
This study tested a program called Vermont RETAIN that helps people who have an injury or illness stay at work or return to work. About 800 adults in Vermont who were working or looking for work and had a recent injury or illness took part. Some received extra services like medical provider help and return-to-work coordination, while others did not. The study measured whether the program helped more people stay employed and avoid applying for disability benefits.
