Strengths and challenges of intervention research in Vocational Rehabilitation: An illustration of agency-university collaboration. Journal of Rehabilitation, 71(2), 40-48. The benefits of intervention research in which new technologies, strategies, or procedures are developed and tested under field conditions have long been heralded in the psychological and rehabilitation research literatures (Frank & Elliott, 2000; Rappaport & Seidman, 2000). The processes, however, can be challenging, as the degree of control researchers have over recruiting participants or introducing the independent variables can be limited by the particular context in which the intervention is introduced (Devine, Wright, & Joyner, 1994).
