What is being tested?

RETAINWORKS aims to help people with disabilities stay in the workforce by providing medical services and coordination support. The study will assess how well these services work in Kansas by looking at participants' job retention and productivity after they receive assistance from the program.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since RETAINWORKS is a service-based intervention rather than a medical treatment, there are no direct side effects like those associated with medications. However, participants may experience varying degrees of success with the program's ability to assist them in retaining employment.
