OverviewAI-generated summary

Srinivasa Gokarakonda's research focuses on understanding and addressing substance use disorders, particularly related to prescription opioids. His work investigates the impact of chronic pain and self-harm behaviors on pain sensitivity, and explores the acceptability of interventions aimed at preventing adolescent prescription opioid misuse. Gokarakonda also examines the relationship between anxiety severity and treatment outcomes in outpatient buprenorphine programs.

His publications also address critical public health issues such as leveraging prescription drug monitoring programs to reduce opioid prescribing. Further research extends to analyzing healthcare utilization patterns in the year preceding death by suicide and investigating the link between psychotherapeutic medication depletion and suicide triggers. Gokarakonda collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alison Oliveto and Austin Porter.
