Research Expertise:

Dr. Hudson was trained as a pharmacist with an emphasis in clinical use of medicines, quality of medication management and medication adherence. Dr. Hudson’s research has focused on understanding the epidemiology of medication use and identifying strategies to improve the safe and effective use of medications for treatment of mental health disorders and understanding the physical health implications of medications to treat these disorders. Dr. Hudson has worked with VA clinicians and opinion leaders to develop strategies to improve quality of medication management, medication adherence and physical health monitoring among individuals receiving antipsychotic medications. Her work with Arkansas Medicaid has concentrated on understanding disparities in medication use among recipients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and dementia. More recently, Dr. Hudson has begun research in understanding the risks of opioid use among individuals who use these medications chronically and is participating in research to understand how pharmacists and physicians manage the risks associated with opioid medications.

Research Interests: schizophrenia, PTSD, medication adherence, quality of medication management, opioid use and dependence
