Dr. Allen is Professor Emerita of Health Services, Policy and Practice in the School of Public Health. She was Associate Director of the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research at Brown, and Associate Director of the VA Center on Systems, Outcomes and Quality in Chronic Disease and Rehabilitation. Dr Allen has a long history of studying home care issues, including family caregiving, among people with disabilities.

Susan M. Allen, PhD, is a sociologist and health policy researcher who studies the community-based long term care of people with chronic conditions and disabilities. Her research focuses on both paid home care as well as home care provided by family members. She has identifed factors related to unmet need for help at home, and has also identified the immediate consequences of unmet need, such as falling and inability to follow physician-prescribed diets. Dr. Allen investigated the influence of unmet need for care in the home on subsequent hospitalizaiton using national survey data linked to Medicare claims data, and found that self-report of unmet need is predictive of hospitalization over a three month follow up period, thus linking the quality of home care with acute care utilization. Within the context of this same study, funded by the National Institute on Aging, she also studied the characteristics of family caregivers that are predictive of caregiving resilience over time and found that current trends in caregiving networks, e.g., an increase in the proportion of caregivers who are men and also in the proportion of caregivers who provide care without the support of secondary caregivers, are associated with caregiving transitions to nursing homes as well as to no care. Dr. Allen has also studied the use of assistive technology and home accommodations as home care resources, and found that use of mobility equipment and home accommodations can reduce levels of human help for some subgroups of the disabled population. Her research is funded by numerous NIH and foundation grants, as well as by the Veterans Health Administration Office of Health Research and Development. Additionally, Dr. Allen conducted research on people with disabilities for the Rhode Island Department of Human Services, including the rebalancing of Medicaid long term care to include expanded options for care in the community.
