NCT ID NCT01721824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called IPS-MA, which helps people with mood or anxiety disorders find and keep jobs or return to school. 326 adults who were unable to work within three months took part. The goal was to see if this support, added to their usual treatment, helped them recover and return to work or education faster than usual care alone.
