Technical Brief #4: Knowledge Translation for Employment Research

The Knowledge Translation for Employment Research (KTER) Center at SEDL (www.kter.org), and its partner, Virginia Commonwealth University (www.worksupport.com), conducted an online survey of staff in state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies regarding their knowledge and use of evidence-based practice (EBP). Initial findings from the survey were reported in KTER Technical Brief #3, which can be found online at www.kter.org/ktactivities/dissemination#tb. This technical brief reports our findings, increasing the sample size from 355 VR Staff to 535, including three additional states in the analysis, reporting state differences concerning the use of research, and discussing EBP in employment services for individuals with disabilities.
