While respondents employed at the end of the 2008 calendar year rate their physical health and mental health as better as indicated by mean ratings (M 3.43 for physical health and M= 3.90 for mental health) than those who were unemployed, (M= 3.18 and 3.77, respectively) this difference is not statistically significant.

Results from 189 baseline respondents who rated their physical and mental health. b. Three respondents who declined to provide a response are not include here One hundred and eighty seven follow -up survey respondents also indicated how many days "During the past 30 days" their physical health was "Not good." Responses ranged from zero days (n = 131; 70.1 %) to 30 (n = 13; 4.3 %), with a mean of 3.39 days, higher than that observed at baseline (M= 2.47 days). Respondents who were employed at the end of the calendar year report a lower number of days that their physical health was "Not good" (Af = 2.76), than those who were unemployed (M = 3.63); a difference that is not statistically significant, however. Respondents also provided information on the number of days "During the past 30 days" their mental health was "Not good." Responses ranged from zero days (n = 127; 69.4 %) to 30 days (n = 7; 3.8 %), with a mean number of 3.08, slightly higher than that observed at baseline (2.95 days). Respondents who were unemployed at the end of the calendar year report a higher number of days that their mental health was "Not good" (M= 3.12) than those who were employed (M= 2.71), a difference that is not statistically significant. Conclusion The Return on Investment for services provided by Santa Ana WORK Center during the calendar year 2008 is estimated to be 147 %. This represents a significant ROI given the severe economic recession and increased costs incurred by the WORK Center from the transition an "Integrated" model halfway through the calendar year.

The increased costs of operating the Integrated model occurred because WORK Center participates now receive individualized 19F -310
