Damon Lipinski

Damon Lipinski serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine, specializing in Pediatric Psychology. He practices as a Pediatric Neuropsychologist and Concussion Specialist at the UAMS/ACH Centers for Children/Schmieding Developmental Center in Lowell, Arkansas, providing clinical services for neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral conditions.

His research focuses on two primary domains:

• Behavioral Addictions: Examining gambling-alcohol interactions, mood-cue reactivity, and expectancy mechanisms
• Concussion Management: Evaluating telehealth delivery, neurocognitive testing validity, and adolescent care models

Analysis of his 2007-2025 publications reveals consistent investigation into the biopsychosocial mechanisms linking addictive behaviors and cognitive functioning. His gambling research demonstrates how winning/losing sequences modulate alcohol cravings, while concussion work establishes evidence for telehealth equivalence in therapeutic alliance and validates serial neurocognitive assessment protocols.

Dr. Lipinski collaborates within multidisciplinary frameworks, notably contributing to pharmacogenomics integration in neurodevelopmental disorder management through team-based consultation models at specialized pediatric centers.
