Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mario Schootman's research investigates health disparities and health outcomes across various populations. His work has examined the associations between neighborhood disinvestment and breast cancer outcomes, and factors influencing breast cancer screening service use among women in the United States. He has also studied the impact of environmental factors, such as greenness, on childhood asthma prevalence and lung function in urban settings.

Furthermore, Dr. Schootman's research extends to public health issues including parent/guardian intentions to vaccinate children against COVID-19. His recent work has focused on income variability and its relationship with cardiovascular disease incidence in individuals with diabetes, as well as racial and skin color mediated disparities in pulse oximetry readings in infants and young children. His scholarly contributions are evidenced by a h-index of 56, over 365 publications, and more than 13,000 citations.

He has served as PI on a $756,000 NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences grant for the CTSA K12 Program at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and as Co-PI on a $459,069 grant from the same agency for Institutional Career Development. Dr. Schootman leads a research group and collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jonathan Laryea, Sonia T. Orcutt, Chenghui Li, and Bradley C. Martin.
