Research Links for Lynne Hall Lynne Hall received her bachelor's and master's degrees in
nursing from Clemson University. In 1983, she completed a
doctorate in public health in maternal and child health with a
minor in epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. The focus of her doctoral research, funded by a
National Research Service Award Predoctoral Fellowship, was the
correlates of mental health in low-income mothers of young
children. This research was extended in an NRSA Postdoctoral
Research Fellowship at UNC in which she investigated the
relationship of maternal mental health to child behavior.
Hall is the associate dean for research and scholarship and a professor in the College of Nursing, the College of
Medicine's Department of Behavioral Science, and the College of Public Health. She was principal investigator of the
study, "Single-Mother Families: Predictors of Health
Outcomes," funded by the National Institute of Nursing
Research (NINR) from 1988-92. She also received an Academic
Investigator Award from NINR (1991-95) to investigate predictors
of mental health in postpartum mothers of high-risk infants. She
was co-investigator on two AREA grants funded by NINR: a
clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of a
cognitive-behavioral intervention in reducing depressive symptoms
and negative thoughts and increasing self-esteem in college-age
women (1996-99); and a clinical trial of a school- and
home-based intervention designed to reduce young children's risk
for use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (1997-00). She was
co-principal investigator of a study of factors affecting the
health of employed pregnant women. This study was funded by the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (1998-02).
She was also co-principal investigator on a study testing the
effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral intervention in decreasing
depressive symptoms and negative thinking and increasing
self-esteem in low-income single mothers of young children. This
study was funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research,
National Institutes of Health (2000-03).
Hall's research on the health of mothers and their young
children has been reported in a variety of journals including the American
Journal of Public Health, Journal of Nursing Scholarship, Nursing
Research, Public Health Nursing, Research in Nursing & Health,
Issues in Mental Health Nursing, the Journal of Psychiatric and
Mental Health Nursing, American Journal of College Health, and
the Journal of Drug Education. She also has presented the
results of her research at numerous regional, national, and
international conferences. In 1995, 1998, and 1999, she and her
co-authors received the D. Jean Wood Award for Nursing Scholarship
from the Southern Nursing Research Society. She was named a Sigma
Theta Tau International Distinguished Writer in 1997. In 2007 she
and co-authors Ann Peden and Mary Kay Rayens received the
Clinical Scholarship Award from Sigma Theta Tau International.
In recognition of her expertise in research, Hall was
appointed to the Nursing Science Review Committee of the National
Center for Nursing Research, National Institutes of Health
(1986-89) and to the Research Review Committee of the American
Nurses Foundation (1989-91) for which she was elected the 1990-91
Chair. She received the 1994 Marion E. McKenna Leadership
Award from the Delta Psi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International.
In 2002, she was appointed as the College's first
Marcia A. Dake
Professor of Nursing Science. This endowed professorship honors
her sustained contribution through teaching, research, and
mentoring.
From 1985-99, Hall served as the coordinator of College of
Nursing activities in the Virginia Place Program, which promotes
self-sufficiency of single-parent families. In 1999, she was
appointed to its board of directors and continues to serve in that
capacity. Her research focus has a direct relationship to her
public service contributions to this program. Her primary
teaching responsibilities are in quantitative research methods and
women's health. Her clinical area is community/public health
nursing with an emphasis on mothers and children. |
