Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Mario Schootman's research program focuses on public health, epidemiology, and health disparities, with a particular emphasis on cancer and chronic diseases. He has received significant federal funding, including over $1.2 million from the NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences for career development programs. His work has led to a substantial body of scholarship, evidenced by 388 publications and over 14,000 citations, earning him recognition as a highly cited researcher.
Schootman's publications address a range of critical public health issues. These include the epidemiology of diabetes and its complications, the influence of socioeconomic factors and race on dietary access and health outcomes, and the risk of colorectal cancer associated with socioeconomic status and behavioral factors. He has also investigated adolescent health, including age of sexual debut, and the provision of neurological care for Parkinson's disease patients. His recent work has explored novel methods for auditing the built environment using Google Street View and the mental health implications of cancer survivorship, specifically suicide risk among head and neck cancer survivors.
His research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences collaborates with several colleagues, including Marie‐Rachelle Narcisse, Chenghui Li, Yong‐Moon Park, and Jonathan Laryea. Schootman's ongoing work and his role as PI on federal grants indicate continued productivity and leadership in health sciences research.
