According to the World Health Organization the toxic combination of bad policies economics and politics is in large measure responsible for the fact that a majority of people in the world do not enjoy the good health that is biologically possible Within the context of our aging population which is expected to increase from 40 million to 70 million by 2030 it is important to address these disparities and social injustices to ensure that we will be able to care for our aging population Not only do we need to increase the workforce to deliver services to an aging population we also need to create health equity in our society by challenging the social determinants of health that are preventing older adults from enjoying good health Also societal barriers need to be broken down that prevent many older adults with chronic conditions from getting the care they need Dr Faul s research focuses on four critical needs in the field of aging and chronic disease management 1 the high prevalence and disproportionate impact of chronic conditions on marginalized people in our society 2 the lack of health selfmanagement and prevention programs that address cultural influences and the influences of the complex systems on people s health 3 the need for sophisticated multilevel explanatory methodologies in social work and health research to analyze pathways to effective health behavior and 4 the need for health professional researchers and practitioners to help fill the workforce gap for our aging society RESEARCH INTERESTS Health Equity Health Disparities Determinants of Health Aging Palliative Care 18

Since 2004 Dr Yingling has worked with children with autism spectrum disorder ASD and their families in home community and university based settings Informed by this work she is dedicated to improving individual and family outcomes by evaluating and enhancing access to treatment for children with ASD In her most recent work Dr Yingling has documented an association between children s enrollment in state early intervention programs for children younger than three years old and the age of ASD diagnosis children who enroll in early intervention may be diagnosed approximately two years earlier than children who do not Her work on Medicaid funded behavioral treatment and demonstrates a substantial time lag between diagnosis and onset of early intensive behavioral intervention EIBI as well as underutilization of EIBI It also points to racial ethnic and neighborhood inequities in the age of specialized treatment receipt and EIBI utilization trajectories and highlights parents perceived challenges to utilization of EIBI e g competing time demands of school and other therapies These studies suggest that despite improvements in health coverage of treatment for ASD through Medicaid and state insurance mandates access and utilization remain imperfect At minimum underutilization serves as a red flag to Medicaid administrators that large scale implementation of EIBI may require an investment of time and resources in areas other than direct provision such as parent education provider recruitment strategies and intersystem collaboration between schools and health providers Further research is warranted to identify barriers to treatment access and utilization and the underlying factors that contribute to inequities To this end Dr Yingling is leading a study to examine geographic access to Board Certified Behavior Analysts at the county level among children with ASD in the United States Preliminary results indicate very uneven county level variation in geographic access and highlight specific geographic areas in which access is exceptionally high and low RESEARCH INTERESTS Autism spectrum disorder Early intervention Developmental disorders Health care inequities Health services research 68
