Jessica L. Rice's research primarily focuses on pediatric respiratory health, particularly in children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and asthma. Her work investigates the impact of environmental factors, such as area deprivation, on respiratory morbidities in these vulnerable populations. Rice also examines outcomes for ventilator-dependent children and explores adherence to interventions like air purifiers in low-income households.

Her research extends to other areas of child health, including outcomes following interventions for severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia and the experiences of adolescents during involuntary psychiatric hospitalization. Rice has published extensively, with a notable h-index of 19 and over 1,300 citations. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Amit Agarwal, with whom she has co-authored eight publications.
