Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Corey J. Hayes investigates the characteristics of initial prescription episodes and their likelihood of leading to long-term opioid use. His work includes examining factors that influence long-term opioid use among opioid-naive patients, specifically analyzing initial prescription details and the etiologies of pain. Hayes also studies the reliability and validity of patient-reported outcome measures, such as the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12 Version 2 (SF-12v2), across various adult populations including those with non-cancer pain, diabetes, and cancer.

His research extends to evaluating the impact of policy changes, such as the legalization of medical marijuana, on opioid use patterns, including chronic and high-risk use. Hayes is also funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the Principal Investigator for a project focused on utilizing predictive analytics to improve the care of veterans with opioid use disorder. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 18, with 119 total publications and 2,329 total citations. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Hari Eswaran, Cari A. Bogulski, Bradley C. Martin, and Mahip Acharya, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications.
