Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Srinivasa Gokarakonda's research investigates the intersection of chronic pain, self-harm, and substance use disorders. He has explored the impact of chronic pain and nonsuicidal self-harm on pain sensitivity and examined the acceptability of game-based interventions for adolescent prescription opioid misuse. His work also addresses the complex factors contributing to suicide, including healthcare utilization in the year prior to death and the role of psychotherapeutic medication depletion.

Gokarakonda has studied the influence of anxiety severity on treatment retention in outpatient buprenorphine programs and investigated strategies for curbing opioid prescribing in Arkansas through the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. His collaborations include work with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Alison Oliveto, Austin Porter, and Michael Mancino.
