Kimberly Arcoleo

  • Professor

About Me:

Dr. Arcoleo's research passion is on closing the health disparity gap for historically marginalized children with asthma. The over-arching, long-term objective of her program of research is to optimize children’s asthma health outcomes through evidence-based interventions at the child, family, school, and healthcare system levels with a focus on the role of culture in healthcare, mental health comorbidities, medication adherence, asthma education and case management, and use of telehealth for asthma management. She has built a stellar interdisciplinary team of research collaborators in AZ, NC, NY, OH, and VA comprised of experts from the fields of nursing, clinical psychology, public health, social work, education, respiratory therapy, allergy & immunology, pediatrics, pediatric pulmonology, and implementation science.

Dr. Arcoleo also has extensive experience designing, implementing, and managing large scale, longitudinal randomized intervention studies (controlled and pragmatic trial) in the home, school, and clinical settings. She has expertise in research design and methods, complex statistical analysis, comparative effectiveness research and analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis and regularly provides training and mentoring for interdisciplinary graduate students and tenure-track faculty in these areas.
