Rebecca J. McCloskey

Rebecca J. McCloskey studies the wellbeing of mothers and healthcare workers facing stress and adversity, including postpartum depression, intimate partner violence, substance use recovery, and burnout among healthcare and pharmacy professionals. Her work often combines qualitative interviews with survey-based research to understand how factors like childhood adversity, discrimination, and material hardship affect mental and physical health, particularly among low-income mothers, sex workers, and frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research spans public health, social work, and community health topics with practical implications for support services and workplace policy.

Publication output rose from 2017 to a peak around 2021, then gradually declined, averaging about 2.2 papers per year over the last five years.
