Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Michael A. Cucciare's research focuses on substance use disorders and behavioral interventions, particularly within veteran populations. He has investigated the adoption and sustainment of therapies like Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) for justice-involved veterans, aiming to reduce recidivism. His work also explores adapting protocols to promote benzodiazepine cessation among US military veterans, utilizing focus group studies to gather insights from veterans and Veterans Health Administration leaders.
Cucciare has also examined the role of data science in improving outcomes for individuals with opioid use disorder and has studied the relationship between substance use and criminogenic thinking in veterans with criminal histories. His research extends to caregivers of individuals with substance use or mental health disorders. He has published extensively, with a notable h-index of 27 and over 2,500 citations, reflecting a significant body of work in his field. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Corey J. Hayes and Xiaotong Han.
