Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Geoffrey M. Curran is a Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with a research focus on the implementation of evidence-based interventions in healthcare settings. His work investigates strategies to integrate digital treatments for substance use disorders into primary care and examines the conceptual and practical aspects of tailoring implementation strategies. Curran has received significant federal funding from the NIH/National Cancer Institute for two projects focused on optimizing the delivery and sustainability of health interventions in early care and education settings, totaling $795,487.
His scholarly output includes over 270 publications, with an h-index of 43 and more than 13,000 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. Curran's research interests also extend to vaccine hesitancy, particularly in relation to race, trust, and fear, as well as falls prevention among older adults. He leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, and collaborates with researchers such as James P. Selig, Jennifer L. Vincenzo, Taren Swindle, and Pearl A. McElfish.
Curran’s recent publications explore themes such as reflections on effectiveness-implementation hybrid studies, conceptual tensions in tailoring interventions, and classifying implementer behavior. He also investigates approaches for implementing app-based digital treatments for drug use disorders and integrating opioid use disorder treatment into primary care.
