She has also worked on longitudinal HIV epidemiologic and behavioral studies at the New York Academy of Medicine's Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies in Central Harlem.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities at the Hunter College School of Social Work, Dr. Hadden has been the Program Evaluator of the Hunter College School of Social Work/Brookdale Center on Aging Geriatric Field Practicum Development Program, funded by The Hartford Foundation, Inc.
