OverviewAI-generated summary

Jure Baloh is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research focuses on implementation science, particularly in the context of rural healthcare settings. Baloh has investigated barriers and facilitators to engagement with HIV care among individuals in rural Arkansas and conducted formative evaluations for the implementation of various programs, including the Al-Anon Intensive Referral program. His work also examines organizational influences on implementation processes through frameworks like the organization theory for implementation science.

Further research by Baloh includes a focus on improving hospital infection control practices through studies on gloving and hand hygiene protocols, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of alcohol-based decontamination of gloved hands. He has also explored temporal trends in telehealth availability for mental health treatment, analyzing differences in growth based on state rurality. Baloh is the Principal Investigator on a federal grant from the NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse, totaling $214,616, for developing and piloting a supervision strategy for substance use disorder treatment programs.

Baloh's scholarship includes 40 publications and 462 citations, with an h-index of 12. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Geoffrey Curran, George Pro, and Mofan Gu, with whom he shares multiple publications.
