OverviewAI-generated summary

Harrison Dickens' research focuses on social determinants of health, particularly as they relate to trauma care and pain management. His work investigates disparities in pediatric trauma care based on race, gender, and neighborhood characteristics. Dickens has also examined the impact of race, insurance status, and geographic location on opioid prescriptions, postdischarge referrals, and mortality following trauma. His studies explore the links between adversity, discrimination, and daily pain experiences in African-American adults, including the role of temporal summation of pain. Additionally, his recent work delves into the effects of cannabidiol on sleep disturbances in individuals with high trait worry and assesses public knowledge of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). Dickens collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jamie Walker and Veronica Floyd.
