Research Focus
Dr. Rosemarie A. Martin's lab focuses on improving how jails respond to the opioid overdose crisis, especially in rural areas. They are working on strategies to increase the use of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in jails, which are crucial for the health of incarcerated individuals. By implementing innovative educational programs, they aim to enhance the knowledge and skills of jail staff and promote better healthcare practices in these facilities, ultimately reducing overdose rates and improving public health outcomes.
