Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Allen M. Smith's research focuses on the complex factors influencing opioid use and overdose, particularly within the context of prescription drug monitoring programs and medical cannabis use. His work investigates the relationship between initial opioid prescription characteristics and long-term use among opioid-naïve patients, as well as the temporal associations between controlled substance acquisition, medication depletion, and fatal or non-fatal opioid overdoses. Smith also explores the development of predictive algorithms for substance use disorders, including cannabis use disorder and stimulant use disorder, utilizing claims data and feature selection workflows. He has published studies examining the role of early chiropractic care and physical therapy in mitigating subsequent opioid use for low back pain. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2 with 10 publications and 21 citations.
