Answer to Question 1

A
Supported employment programs generally result in most participants continuing to work beyond the support program period. In the study, three-fourths of participants worked beyond the support program period. Over the next 10 years, one-third of the participants worked for at least 5 out of 10 years. Unfortunately, few clients made the transition to full employment with health benefits.

Answer to Question 2

D
Because stimulant drugs (the mainstay of treatment for ADHD) increase the availability of the neurotransmitter dopamine, the dopamine hypothesis of ADHD causation has gained a wide following. This hypothesis suggests that ADHD is due to inadequate availability of dopamine in the central nervous system.
