Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jacob T. Painter’s research focuses on pharmacoepidemiologic analyses, particularly concerning opioid use and its associated adverse outcomes, as well as the appropriate use of medications in older adults. He has investigated the relationship between concomitant benzodiazepine-opioid use and adverse outcomes among US veterans and examined the pharmacoepidemiologic analyses of opioid use among Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn veterans. Painter also studies the predictive validity of established criteria for detecting adverse drug events in older populations.

His work includes investigations into acute kidney injury in critically ill patients related to antibiotic use and the implications of the opioid epidemic for pharmacists. Painter is a Principal Investigator on a National Institutes of Health grant focused on implementing collaborative care for depression within VA HIV clinics. He has authored or co-authored over 120 publications, with a citation count exceeding 1,700 and an h-index of 23, and actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
