Counselor Variables

Abstract

This investigation explored the variables of counselor sex, certification status, and geographic location and their relationship with client case closures and money spent. Subjects were 99 ocational rehabilitation counselors employed by the state of Arizona. Case service records were utilized to obtain raw data for the study. Analysis of data was obtained using computerized t-tests. No significant spending or outcome differences in terms of counselor sex or certification were found. Significant differences were found in the spending patterns of urban and rural counselors. Overall relationships for global spending patterns, numbers of clients served, and outcomes were also explored.
