  • Undercounts of people with serious mental illness using the Washington Group Short Set questions

    Open AccessJean P Hall, Kathleen C Thomas et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Results indicate that the WG-SS questions miss large percentages of even those with the most severe mental illnesses, who therefore may be substantially undercounted in US federal surveys using these questions. In turn, public mental health programs may be substantially underfunded

    Open AccessAbigail Mulcahy, Carl G Streed et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Disabled adults and transgender people in the United States face multiple compounding and marginalizing forces that result in unmet healthcare needs. Yet, gender identity among disabled people has not been explored, especially beyond binary categories of gender. Using cross-sectional survey data, we explored the rates of disability types and the odds of unmet healthcare needs among transgender people with disabilities compared to cisgender people…

    The purpose of the study is to compare self-reported health and access to health care among people with early- and late-onset disability. Adults with disabilities 18 to 62 years of age participated in the 2018 U.S. National Survey on Health and Disability (NSHD), which is a nationally representative, internet-based survey that provides data related to health insurance and access to health care.

  • Perspectives on Health Policy From People With Disabilities

    Open AccessSarah Dexter Smith, Jean P Hall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Disability Policy…2020References: 5

    People with disabilities are marginalized and face barriers to participation in society, including political participation and representation. While data indicate that people with disabilities have similar political preferences to the overall U.S. population, little research has been conducted to assess the health policy views of people with disabilities in their own words. This study uses qualitative data collected between 2017 and 2019 via 35 t…

  • Medicaid Expansion as an Employment Incentive Program for People With Disabilities

    Jean P Hall, Adele Shartzer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2018Cited by: 3References: 9

    Before the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), many Americans with disabilities were locked into poverty to maintain eligibility for Medicaid coverage. US Medicaid expansion under the ACA allows individuals to qualify for coverage without first going through a disability determination process and declaring an inability to work to obtain Supplemental Security Income. Medicaid expansion coverage also allows for greater income and impo…

Methods. Analyses used difference-in-differences to compare trends in pooled, cross-sectional estimates of employment by state expansion status for 2740 HRMS respondents reporting a disability, adju…

  • Asset Building: One Way the ACA May Improve Health and Employment Outcomes for People With Disabilities

    Open AccessJean P Hall, Noelle K Kurth et al.ARTICLEJournal of Disability Policy…2014References: 1

    Working-age individuals with disabilities are often forced to live in poverty to maintain Medicaid coverage. This study explored the relationship between having assets in excess of usual Medicaid limits and health and quality of life in a sample of Medicaid Buy-In participants. Using self-reported survey data, we compared groups with US$2,000 or less in cash assets (the usual Medicaid limit) and those with more than US$2,000. Participants with hi…

  • Poor oral health as an obstacle to employment for Medicaid beneficiaries with disabilities

    Open AccessJean P Hall, Shawna L Carroll Chapman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2012

    More comprehensive dental benefits for the study population could result in increased oral and overall health, and eventual cost savings to Medicaid as more people work, have improved health, and pay premiums for coverage
