Women's Mental Health

 

Joanne M. Hall, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor

  Dr. Hall teaches graduate courses on philosophy of science, theory and methods of inquiry. She has been engaged in women's health research since her masters program in 1986. She has in the past focused on substance misuse and lesbian health issues.  Recently her research in the area of women's mental health has focused on survivors of childhood abuse and their strengths.  She currently has a 4-year narrative analysis project funded ($930,000) by the NINR through the R01 mechanism regarding thriving in women child abuse survivors. There are several other nursing faculty and students included on the multidisciplinary research team that is active on this project. Below are some recent publications:
