KTER Center's Research Update
Data collection from professional staff in state vocational rehabilitation (VR) continues via our online survey. The survey addresses topics related to knowledge and use of evidence-based practice in VR. The sample currently consists of 535 VR staff, with 212 from one Southwest state, 140 from two Southern states, 111 from two Mid-Atlantic states and 72 from a Northern state. Research staff have published one technical brief based on early data from 3 states and are working on incorporating the new data into these analyses. Findings will be disseminated via conferences, publications and KTER's social media channels. They will also inform KTER's design of a research project that will test how best to promote the use of KTER's systematic review findings among state VR agencies and their staff.
The KTER Center is conducting two systematic reviews that follow the methods required for publication by the Campbell Collaboration (C2). The C2's Education Coordinating Group has accepted both titles and the protocols are well underway.
