OverviewAI-generated summary

Mofan Gu's research focuses on public health issues, particularly concerning substance use disorders, HIV/AIDS, and infectious diseases like COVID-19. Gu has investigated barriers to HIV care engagement among individuals in rural Arkansas and examined geographic and racial/ethnic disparities in access to methamphetamine detoxification services across the United States. Their work also explores the drivers of probation revocation and assesses social stigma associated with various drug use disorders, including opioids, methamphetamines, crack cocaine, and alcohol. Additionally, Gu has contributed to understanding COVID-19 outbreaks in correctional facilities and the role of economic distress in surrounding communities. Recent publications include a pilot study on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers and a randomized controlled trial design for a PrEP linkage intervention for individuals leaving incarceration. Gu collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including George Pro and Nicholas Zaller.
