Description: The purpose of BEES is
to evaluate the effectiveness of a range
of programs designed to improve
employment and earnings outcomes for
individuals with low incomes. More
specifically, BEES is primarily
evaluating programs that serve adults
whose employment prospects have been
affected by Substance Use Disorder
(SUD) and mental health conditions.
This is being accomplished through
impact and implementation studies.
When possible, a randomized control
trial research design is being used for
the impact evaluations. This request for
an extension is to complete the
following data collection activities:
baseline, updated contact information,
and follow up surveys for the impact
studies; an online staff survey; and
qualitative interviews with program
participants and staff. In addition to
collecting these data, the BEES project
will continue to maintain consent forms
for the collection of administrative data.
Data collected is being used to estimate
the effects of the participating programs
on employment, earnings, and other key
outcomes.
Respondents: The respondents in this
extension will include individuals who
will enroll in BEES and complete the
baseline survey during this period. All
study participants will be fielded the
follow up survey. We will also conduct
qualitative interviews with program
staff and participants in the
participating sites 1–2 times. Lastly,
program staff will be asked to complete
a web-based survey.
