The goal of the BEES study is to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative programs designed to boost employment and earnings among Americans with low incomes. As described in the justification package for this study, approved instruments may be tailored to specific sites as they are recruited. Multiple BEES sites focused on delivering employment services to clients of a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery provider or those receiving behavioral health services at a Federally Qualified Health Center. This request includes a tailored 12-month follow-up survey for participants in these sites. The BEES study is utilizing a randomized control trial methodology to assess program impacts. As is considered best practice in random assignment studies, impacts will be estimated using an intent-to-treat design where the entire program group will be compared with the entire control group, regardless of whether program group members received services from the study program, and regardless of whether control group members received similar services in the community. The ability of the study to provide precise estimates of the effects of programs will depend in part on the number of participants who are enrolled in the study and for which data are collected. In addition, results will be most relevant to the federal government if a broad sample of individuals can be enrolled. However, enrollment into BEES has been slower than expected. As such, this request also includes a request to add a token of appreciation at baseline.
