To date, she has received over $12 million dollars in external funding for her research. Dr. Claborn’s research focuses on improving the addiction system of care through community based participatory research methods and system science. She has expertise in designing and building digital ecosystems to improve care coordination and community overdose prevention efforts. In 2021, Dr. Claborn received an international award from Google for her work developing, TxCOPE, a digital platform to improve data collection and inform real-time overdose community response efforts in Texas. She has built strong multisectoral partnerships to advance community-level, coordinated overdose response efforts. Dr. Claborn’s current work seeks to use innovative methods to combine traditional and non-traditional overdose surveillance methods to inform data-driven community response.

The Future of Health in Texas
Dr. Kasey Claborn currently serves as a reviewer on 12 different editorial journals and has published over 42 publications since 2012. To date, she has presented on addiction research, overdose prevention, digital healthcare, substance use disorder with 13 international, 55 national and 60 regional presentations. Dr. Claborn’s model at ARI is one of teaching and service, bringing forth new ideas and questioning methods of research and technology to find best practices in the addiction research field.
CLEAN Cause Foundation
You may have picked up a CLEAN Cause beverage in your local grocery store, pharmacy or gas station. CLEAN Cause Inc. is a mission-first venture whereby 50% net profits (or 5% net revenue, whichever is greater) support individuals in pursuing recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions through its recovery home scholarships. Our own Dr. Kasey Claborn serves as Board Member and Treasurer for the CLEAN Cause Foundation.
TxCOPE
TxCOPE began in 2019 for the community, by the community. Working with those in healthcare agencies and overdose prevention organizations, TxCOPE was founded to help prevent overdoses in Texas. March 1st 2023 saw the launch of TxCOPE as we work with organizations across Texas who want to work with us by helping to report overdoses, track the use of Narcan and understand real-time data which is translated quickly into community action.
“The idea is that we will be able to have better data which will inform how we allocate our resources, how our community health paramedic programs operate, how our overdose reduction organizations operate so that we’re more efficient and more effective out in the field.” – Dr. Kasey Claborn
