Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Benjamin S. Teeter's research focuses on implementation science within community pharmacy settings, investigating strategies to improve public health outcomes. His work has examined rural Americans' perceptions and willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccines, collaborating with community pharmacists to address vaccine hesitancy. He has also studied pharmacist-physician collaboration models for HPV vaccination and the role of community pharmacies in opioid overdose counseling and naloxone prescribing.

Teeter's research methodology often involves pilot studies and protocols for larger trials, such as a stepped-wedge randomized clinical trial addressing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in rural pharmacies. He has also explored the impact of educational interventions on pharmacy students' knowledge of substance use disorders and harm reduction. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13 with 41 publications and 868 citations. Key collaborators include Cynthia L. Mosley, Geoffrey M. Curran, Jacob T. Painter, and Taren Swindle, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
