A major accomplishment of the EIDP is the development of the study’s Common Protocol, designed to collect cross-site data that address the study’s major research questions.

The Common Protocol Interviews, Clinical Reporting Form, Employment Tracking, and Service Definitions components gather information used to create the study’s vocational outcome measures, track services received, describe clinical features, assess psychosocial status, and elicit participant demographic characteristics.
