Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Srinivasa Gokarakonda's research focuses on understanding and addressing complex behavioral and health issues, particularly those related to pain, substance use, and self-harm. He has investigated the synergistic effects of chronic pain and nonsuicidal self-harm on pain sensitivity and explored the impact of anxiety severity on treatment outcomes for opioid use disorder. Gokarakonda has also examined the effectiveness of interventions, including game-based approaches for adolescent prescription opioid misuse and the utility of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs in curbing opioid prescribing in Arkansas. His work also delves into healthcare utilization patterns in the year preceding death by suicide and the relationship between psychotherapeutic medication depletion and suicide triggers. Gokarakonda collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Alison Oliveto, Austin Porter, and Michael J. Mancino.
