Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shona L. Ray-Griffith's research focuses on maternal and perinatal health interventions, particularly concerning substance use during pregnancy and pain management. She has investigated the clearance of buprenorphine during pregnancy and its impact on neonatal outcomes. Ray-Griffith also studies perceptions of marijuana use among pregnant individuals and the receipt of reproductive safety data by these populations. Her work extends to pain management strategies, including a pilot telemedicine initiative for patients with chronic non-cancer pain in rural areas and an evaluation of a multidisciplinary pain care program in Arkansas. She has also examined psychiatric involvement in US Maternal Mortality Review Committees and the use of continuous fetal monitoring during electroconvulsive therapy.
