Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael A. Cucciare's research focuses on substance use disorders, particularly in veteran populations, and the development and implementation of evidence-based psychotherapies. He has served as Principal Investigator on two NIH-funded grants. The first, "A Computer-Assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Tool to Enhance Fidelity in CBO," aims to improve the consistent application of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) through a digital tool. The second grant, "Multi-site Pilot Trial of Strengths-based Linkage to Alcohol Care (SLAC) for Hazardous Drinkers in Primary Care," investigates a strengths-based approach to connect individuals with hazardous drinking patterns in primary care settings to alcohol-related care.
Cucciare's scholarly work includes a substantial body of publications. His research has examined topics such as medication-assisted treatment for opiate dependence, polysubstance use among stimulant users, and alcohol and drug misuse in women veterans. He has also investigated ethnic differences in beliefs about Alzheimer's disease among dementia caregivers and explored methods for delivering training in cognitive-behavioral therapy for substance abuse counselors, including the use of web-based and blended learning approaches. His work has resulted in 148 publications and an h-index of 27, with over 2,600 citations. He is recognized as a high-impact researcher and has collaborated with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Corey J. Hayes, Xiaotong Han, Bradley C. Martin, and Jeffrey M. Pyne.
