Relationship between vocational rehabilitation and level of education

A moderate and statistically significant relationship exists between level of education and reception of vocational rehabilitation services (r = .299, p>.001) as it appears in Table 13. Respondents with higher levels of education were more likely to have received vocational rehabilitation services than those with lower levels of education. Discrepancies exist in the total number of individuals reporting participation in vocational rehabilitation services between Table 12 and Table 13 as a result of missing or incomplete surveys.
