Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael Cucciare is a researcher whose work focuses on behavioral health interventions, particularly for justice-involved populations and veterans. His research has investigated the adoption and sustainment of treatments like Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) among justice-involved adults and veterans, aiming to reduce recidivism risk. He has also explored adaptations of protocols, such as the Eliminating Medications Through Patient Ownership of End Results (EMPOWER) protocol, to facilitate benzodiazepine cessation in military veterans.
Cucciare’s research extends to understanding the needs of caregivers for individuals with substance use or mental health disorders. He has also utilized data science approaches to improve outcomes for persons with opioid use disorder and examined the relationship between substance use and criminogenic thinking in veterans with criminal histories. His work includes evaluating interventions for concerned others, such as a randomized controlled trial for Al-Anon referral.
With a career marked by extensive publication, Cucciare has authored over 145 publications and has an h-index of 26, with more than 2,400 citations. He has collaborated with numerous researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Corey J. Hayes, Bradley C. Martin, Jeffrey M. Pyne, and Marcela C. Weber. He maintains an active lab website to share his research activities.
