OverviewAI-generated summary
Mofan Gu's research focuses on public health issues, particularly those related to health services accessibility and disparities. Gu has investigated barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement for individuals in rural Arkansas and examined geographic and racial/ethnic differences in access to methamphetamine detoxification services in the United States. Their work also addresses the drivers of probation revocation in Pulaski County, Arkansas, and assesses social stigma associated with various substance use disorders.
Additionally, Gu has explored COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers and the surveillance of COVID-19 outbreaks in Southern US prisons, considering the role of community economic distress. A pilot study for a PrEP linkage intervention for individuals leaving incarceration has also been undertaken. Gu's research interests extend to AI literacy in vocational education, suggesting an interest in educational technology and professional development.
