FIGURE 1— Conceptual model illustrating the relations among activity limitation, perceived need for workplace accommodation, and labor-force participation.
Note. Numbers are path coefficients; all path coefficients shown are statistically significant (P < .01). Dotted lines represent nonsignificant paths. Education and occupation were coded from low to high. The presented model was based on people with valid occupation codes only; the model with a full sample size that excluded the occupation variable yielded similar results for the other variables.
