OverviewAI-generated summary
Jennifer C. Veilleux's research focuses on understanding mental health, substance abuse, and related behavioral factors. Her work investigates the connections between negative affect, emotion dysregulation, and drinking behaviors, as well as the association between anhedonia, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts in student populations. She also studies the acute effects of nicotine on affect in adolescent smokers and examines the relationships between depression, anhedonia, and self-injurious thoughts and behaviors in adults with a history of self-injury.
Veilleux has received federal funding from the NIH/National Institute of Mental Health for her work on targeting components of distress tolerance. Her scholarly contributions include a review of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions for opioid dependence treatment and an examination of hookah smoking patterns and correlates among college students. She has also investigated risk factors associated with mental illness in patients infected with COVID-19.
With a substantial publication record of 149 articles and an h-index of 27, Veilleux has been recognized as a highly cited researcher. She actively collaborates with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Regina E. Schreiber, Katherine Hyde Brott, and Jeremy B. Clift, with whom she shares numerous co-authored publications. Veilleux maintains an active laboratory website and has been recently active in research.
