The effects of ancestry and severity of disability of vocational rehabilitation consumers (as measured by cost, time in rehabilitation, number of services received, receipt of assistive technology, and disability severity [the Rehabilitation Services Administration definition]) were examined by applying a logistic regression to the RSA-911 national database from 1998. The best model was identified and interpreted. European Americans, individuals with higher costs, and persons who received assistive technology were more likely to be closed rehabilitated. Individuals from other ancestry groups, who were coded severely disabled, or who had been in the system for longer periods of time were less likely to be closed rehabilitated. Model limitations and suggestions for future research are presented.
