Interests

  • Occupational Health Disparities & Inequities
  • Worker & Immigrant Health
  • Biological & Behavior Responses to Stressors
  • Chronic Disease Outcomes
  • Socioegological Stressors

Dr. Rosemberg’s program of  research focuses on addressing occupational health disparities and inequities among youth and adult working populations at risk for or experiencing one or multiple chronic conditions.

Her unique contribution addresses the significant gap in science related to mitigating socioecological stressors (work and non-work) and remediating the associated pathophysiologic (e.g. Allostatic Load) and maladaptive behavioral responses, and tertiary outcomes (i.e. chronic diseases) among vulnerable workers. Her work has clinical impact for public health, occupational and environmental health, and nursing to mitigate loss preventions among workers and organizations.

Dr. Rosemberg uses innovative qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand the mechanisms through which socioecological stressors affect physical, mental, and behavioral responses among at-risks workers. Dr. Rosemberg’s work cuts across various industries (e.g. hospitality and nail) and worker groups in the US workforce including women, youth, low-wage, immigrant, and service workers.
