Holly H. Hollingsworth, PhD

Background: Dr. Hollingsworth is a Research Professor in the Occupational Therapy Program at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. He provides measurement, statistical, statistical software, and data analytic support of faculty and student research. He is the statistician on a research project that has developed an assessment tool for capturing the participation of individuals with mobility limitations, including SCI, on major life activities. The assessment battery allows for a measure of the influence of environmental facilitators and barriers on participation by people with mobility limitations. This project is funded by the Centers for Disease Control, of which Dr. Gray is the principal investigator. His research interests are primarily in the application of multivariate statistical and modeling techniques, such as structural equations and neural networks, and to the research areas of occupation and rehabilitation where cognitive mechanisms are evaluated.  Dr. Hollingsworth received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics from San Francisco State College, a Master of Arts in Mathematical Statistics and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Applied Statistics from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.

He provides reliability and longitudinal statistics on all data collected. Dr. Hollingsworth provides computer technical assistance for the project. He contributes to scientific articles that describe the results of this project. He performs statistical analyses for the final reports on this project.
