Improving Employment and Reducing Recidivism Among Prison Offenders Via Virtual Interview Training Tool (MICHR)
The goal is to conduct a feasibility effectiveness RCT of Virtual Interview Training (VIT) by comparing employment and recidivism outcomes of offenders (25 years and older) receiving vocational services as usual (SAU) plus VIT (SAU+VIT) with the outcomes of offenders receiving only services as usual (SAU-only).
The plan calls for participants to include offenders who are at moderate to high risk for reoffending (with an emphasis on violent-crime reoffending) who are currently enrolled in a Vocational Village Prison Setting with the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Job Interview Skills From Mock Interview Rating Scale (MIRS)
Time Frame: Pretest (Baseline) and Posttest (approximately 6 weeks after Baseline)
|
Interviewing skills were measured using a role-play measure in which subjects act out two job interview scenarios with trained actors.
Interviews were video recorded and scored.
An average of the two scenarios at baseline was used to create a single pretest score and an average of the two scenarios at posttest was used to create a single posttest score.
The method of assessment is the job interview skills rating scale as measured by the Mock Interview Rating Scale (MIRS).
Possible scores range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating better interview skills.

Pretest (Baseline) and Posttest (approximately 6 weeks after Baseline)
|
Number of Participants on With at Least 1 Yes Answer to Recidivism Self-Report Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 Month and 12 months after Villager Release Date
|
Recidivism status will be collected via follow up self-report survey with a questions asking if they have been re-arrested (yes/no).
The recidivism self-report data will be validated by administrative data collected from MDOC.
