Research Interests:

Dr. Hall’s major areas of research interest are clinical trials for the treatment of substance abuse. Her work has included behavioral and pharmacological trials of therapies to treat nicotine dependence, cocaine dependence, and opioid abuse. She has also produced both theoretical and treatment studies of dually diagnosed patients, most notably the intersection between nicotine dependence and depression. Dr. Hall is an author on approximately 200 scientific articles. She is Principal Investigator on two NIH research project grants, “Maintaining Nonsmoking,” now in its 21st year, and “Brief versus Extended Smoking Treatment.” She is also Principal Investigator on the NIDA funded P50 Center grant, titled “Treatment of Complex Patients in New Settings,” and on a component of that grant, “Treatment of Comorbid Smokers.” Dr. Hall serves as co-investigator on Dr. Neal Benowitz’ grant, “Safety of a Nicotine Reduction Strategy.”

Dr. Hall is an experienced mentor and also serves as a director of a related training program. She serves as a core faculty member on the locally funded Clinical Psychology Training Program and regularly gives a series of lectures to the trainees on her research. She has served on advisory and review committees for the NIH, the Institutes of Medicine, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and the American Legacy Foundation.
