Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jessica L. Rice, an assistant professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, investigates respiratory health outcomes in children, particularly those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Her research examines the impact of environmental factors, such as area deprivation and ambient air pollution, on respiratory morbidities in this vulnerable population. Rice also studies respiratory outcomes for ventilator-dependent children with BPD and explores the influences of environmental exposures on preterm lung disease.

Her work extends to asthma management, including patterns and predictors of air purifier adherence in low-income, urban households. Additionally, Rice has investigated the use of azithromycin to prevent death in infants and mortality in outpatients with BPD. She has also been involved in studies on the experiences of adolescents during involuntary psychiatric hospitalization. Rice's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 19, 98 total publications, and 1,343 total citations. She has collaborated with Amit Agarwal on nine shared publications.
