Dr. Hall’s research examines the interaction of disability, health, employment, and community participation. She has expertise in survey development and administration among people with all kinds of disabilities and specific experience in accessible survey design and multi-modal survey administration to ensure full participation of people with disabilities. Her team administers the National Survey on Health and Disability, a national, longitudinal, internet-based survey of more than 2,500 working-age Americans with a wide range of disabilities. This effort involves recruiting participants from across the country and has resulted in the development of a strong network of disability service providers and advocates who assist with that recruitment. Data from the NSHD allow for near real-time feedback from Americans with disabilities on barriers and facilitators to health, access to health care, employment, and community living. As a user of Census data, Dr. Hall is committed to supporting the Census in reaching and including the historically undercounted population of people with disabilities, including those from multiply marginalized groups. A priority of her research is to give voice to people with disabilities and their experiences with accessing health care and living in their communities. Dr. Hall identifies as a person with a disability.
