OverviewAI-generated summary

Harrison Dickens, a doctoral student at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, investigates the complex interplay of social determinants and health outcomes. His research focuses on racial, gender, and neighborhood-level disparities in pediatric trauma care, examining how factors like race, insurance status, and geographic location influence opioid prescriptions, postdischarge referrals, and mortality. Dickens also studies the impact of adversity and discrimination on pain perception, particularly temporal summation of pain in African-American adults and adolescents with sickle cell disease. His work further explores the biopsychosocial pathways of interventions like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and its antidepressant effects. Dickens collaborates with faculty including Jamie Walker and Veronica Floyd, and has an h-index of 6 with 21 publications.
