OverviewAI-generated summary

Jure Baloh's research program focuses on the implementation of evidence-based practices within healthcare settings, with a particular emphasis on substance use disorder treatment and rural health. He is currently serving as the Principal Investigator (PI) for a $214,616 grant from the NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse to develop and pilot a supervision strategy for substance use disorder treatment programs. His recent publications explore various facets of implementation science, including the application of organizational theory to implementation, key steps in evidence-based quality improvement, and the development of practice-based research networks for rural community pharmacies.

Baloh's work also addresses specific challenges in healthcare access and engagement. He has investigated barriers and facilitators to HIV care engagement among individuals in rural Arkansas and conducted a qualitative formative evaluation for the Al-Anon Intensive Referral (AIR) program. Furthermore, his research has examined temporal trends in telehealth availability for mental health treatment, noting differences in growth based on state rurality. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, 40 total publications, and 446 total citations. Key collaborators include Geoffrey Curran, George Pro, Mofan Gu, and Anthony Goudie, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
