Research in community pharmacy services investigates how pharmacies can best serve public health needs. This work examines the implementation of pharmacy-based clinical services, such as medication therapy management and point-of-care testing, and evaluates their effectiveness and accessibility. Studies explore patient outcomes, medication adherence, and the role of pharmacists in managing chronic diseases and infectious diseases. Methodologies include health services research, implementation science, and data analysis of patient records and surveys.

In Arkansas, community pharmacy services research directly addresses the state's unique public health challenges. This includes improving access to care in rural areas, addressing disparities in health outcomes, and enhancing medication access and safety for diverse populations. The research supports the state's healthcare infrastructure by identifying strategies to optimize the role of pharmacists in primary care settings, contributing to a healthier and more economically stable Arkansas.

This area of study benefits from interdisciplinary collaboration with experts in health policy, public health, health literacy, and substance abuse. Engagement spans across institutions, fostering a comprehensive approach to understanding and improving community pharmacy practice.
