Research summary
AI-generated

Brian M. D'Onofrio studies how mental health conditions such as ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), substance use disorders, and various psychiatric conditions develop and are treated, and how these risks are shared within families. His work relies heavily on large population and family-based datasets (often from Swedish national registers) to examine the real-world effects and safety of psychiatric medications, including their use during pregnancy. A recurring approach is comparing relatives (such as siblings or twins) to better separate genetic and environmental influences on health outcomes.

Publication activity has remained fairly steady across the decade, fluctuating between roughly 13 and 39 papers per year with an average of about 22 over the last five years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
