Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

L. Riley Gournay's research focuses on the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on anxiety and related conditions in adults. Gournay has investigated the efficacy of CBD in double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trials, including studies on high trait worriers and individuals experiencing fear elicited by a carbon dioxide-enriched air breathing challenge. Additional research has explored CBD's impact on nicotine withdrawal severity and state anxiety during e-cigarette abstinence, as well as its effects on emotional reactivity in trauma-relevant contexts. Gournay has also conducted surveys on the use patterns and perceived effects of cannabis products, including those containing hexahydrocannabinol, and has examined user perceptions of CBD products among anxious individuals. Sleep deprivation's effect on emotional reappraisal has also been a subject of study. Gournay has published eight works with 72 citations and an h-index of 4, and collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Ellen W. Leen‐Feldner and Matthew T. Feldner.
