Biography

Dr. Kimberly Arcoleo is a Research Professor who holds a PhD in Health Services Research and Master’s in Public Health. Previously, she served as associate professor and associate dean for research at the University of Rochester School of Nursing, associate professor and associate dean for research at the Ohio State University College of Nursing, and associate professor at Arizona State University. She completed a two-year fellowship in Health Disparities Research at Arizona State University’s Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center where she gained critical knowledge of the role of culture and acculturation in health and healthcare decision-making.

Dr. Arcoleo has extensive experience designing, implementing, and managing large scale, longitudinal randomized, controlled, intervention studies 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 graduate students and tenure-track faculty in these areas.

Arcoleo’s research focus is on closing the health disparity gap for low-income, under-served 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 currently is Principal Investigator on a $2.27 million NIH-funded RO1 grant to evaluate a program that she’s been working on for several years with her clinician collaborators at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH, titled “School-Based Asthma Therapy (SBAT) to Reduce Disparities in Childhood Asthma: Pragmatic Process and Program Implementation Evaluation.”
