The purpose is to assess the extent to which competing ALMPs are effective in moving long-term unemployed individuals (i.e. unemployed for 6 months or more) closer to the labor-market.", 'detailedDescription': 'Long-term unemployment has a profound impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. In addition, the effects of long-term unemployment have been found to impact subgroups differently. Today there is scant knowledge on the mechanisms that are influential in moving individuals from long-term unemployment closer to the labor market. This study is designed to answer six research questions using a variety of methods (mixed-methods) and outcome measures (self-report, official register). In addition, this study leverages official register data to construct an untreated control group. This study will assess the extent to which an emerging theory of becoming job ready holds under experimental scrutiny.\n\nThis project will engage ALMP program administrators and service providers in semi-structured interviews. A total of 6 competing ALMPs will be included in the study. The transcribed interview material will be used as a basis for program theory reconstruction. All specified program theories will be presented back to program stakeholders for validation. ALMP program effectiveness will be assessed quasi-experimentally with pre- (T1) and posttest (T2) collection of self-reported data. Additionally, official register data from the Longitudinal integrated database for health insurance and labor market studies (LISA) will be collected for all participants. In addition, a matched sample will be collected from LISA to be used as a non-treated control group on final policy outcomes (e.g., employment, salary/wage). This study also assesses program implementation and economic outcomes of competing the competing ALMPs.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'All individuals receiving intervention from participating service providers during the inclusion period that meet the inclusion criteria.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Unemployed for a period of at least 6 months, and\n* 25 years old or younger, or\n* born outside of Sweden, or\n* 55 years old or older without higher education, or\n* has a disability (physical, intellectual, neuropsychiatric, or mental) and\n* receives social insurance benefits, or\n* receives social welfare benefits\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* referred for services primarily by the Department of Justice'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04247932', 'briefTitle': 'Pathways to Employment for the Long-term Unemployed', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Göteborg University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Pathways to the Labor Market for Long-term Unemployed: a Comparison of Labor Market Interventions Effects Mechanisms and Implementation', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2018-01324'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Municipal', 'description': 'Individual participants receiving active labor market intervention from municipal providers', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Active labor market intervention']}, {'label': 'Non-profit', 'description': 'Individual participants receiving active labor market intervention from non-profit providers', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Active labor market intervention']}, {'label': 'Register', 'description': 'Matched sample from register data, no intervention provided'}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Active labor market intervention', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Behavior change intervention', 'armGroupLabels': ['Municipal', 'Non-profit']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Tina M Olsson, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'tina.olsson@socwork.gu.se', 'phone': '+46 31 786 1011'}, {'name': 'Mikaela Starke, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'mikaela.starke@socwork.gu.se', 'phone': '+46 31 786 1887'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Mikaela Starke, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Department of Social Work, Gothenburg University'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'infoTypes': ['STUDY_PROTOCOL', 'SAP', 'ICF', 'CSR'], 'timeFrame': 'Data will be made available within 6 months of study completion', 'ipdSharing': 'YES', 'description': 'De-identified participant data for primary and secondary outcome measures will be made available.', 'accessCriteria': 'Data access requests will be reviewed and must be accompanied by an ethical approval to use data.'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Göteborg University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
