OverviewAI-generated summary
Alicia M. Allen's research program investigates factors influencing health behaviors and outcomes, with a particular focus on smoking cessation, cannabis use, and the impact of infections and stressors on physiological processes. Her work has examined the efficacy of remote biochemical verification methods for smoking status and the effects of nicotine reduction in cigarettes on smoking behavior across different demographic groups.
Allen also studies the physiological impacts of health events, including SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination on menstrual cycle changes. Her research extends to understanding the unmet mental health needs of adults with chronic pain and exploring the feasibility of health interventions, such as PrEP awareness, among specific populations. She leads a research group and has a publication record that includes work on stress response regulation and the identification of biomarkers. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25 with over 1,800 citations, and she is designated as a highly cited researcher.
