Rate My Professor Diane Rohlman

Rohlman's research examines neurotoxic effects and neurological disorders resulting from chemical and other agent exposures, with a focus on pesticide impacts on neurobehavioral performance in vulnerable populations exposed to workplace hazards, including agricultural workers, children, adolescents, young workers, and immigrants. Her work encompasses Total Worker Health approaches, workplace mental health, and the development of safety and health interventions to prevent exposures, reduce injuries, and promote healthy behaviors. She has chaired the College of Public Health’s Global Public Health committee and led international research teams across five continents and more than ten countries, such as Egypt, Brazil, Thailand, and the Philippines. Notable publications include "Studying health outcomes in farmworker populations exposed to pesticides" (2006, Environmental Health Perspectives), "Effectiveness of total worker health interventions" (2015, Journal of Occupational Health Psychology), "Correlating neurobehavioral performance with biomarkers of organophosphorous pesticide exposure" (2011, Neurotoxicology), "Neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental effects of pesticide exposures" (2012, Neurotoxicology), and "Organophosphate pesticide exposure and neurobehavioral performance in agricultural and nonagricultural Hispanic workers" (2006, Environmental Health Perspectives). In 2025, she received the Agricultural Safety & Health Council of America Achievement Award for her contributions to agricultural safety and health.
