Predictive validity of evidence-based practices in supported employment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This study provides evidence of moderate, yet important, predictive validity of the IPS-15 scale across diverse international and research cont exts.

Practical implications Program implementation leaders are encouraged to first focus on attaining good fidelity, then supplement fidelity monitoring with tracking the percentage of new clients who obtain a comp etitive job employment over a pre-defined period of time. Originality/value The evidence indicates that good fidelity may be necessary but not sufficient for good competitive employment...
