This is a revision to the Subsidized
and Transitional Employment Demonstration (STED) and Enhanced
Transitional Jobs Demonstration (ETJD) information collection. This
request includes a contact information form and a baseline form to
be administered to study participants in a new STED site. As
discussed below, these data collected for the new site will provide
important demographic information about the study sample, help to
ensure the comparability of the program and control groups, and
allow for an analysis of program effects for selected
subgroups.
