Dr. Rebecca Rebbe has Joined the Esteemed Faculty at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill School of Social Work

Our very own CDN Researcher, Rebecca Rebbe, is now an assistant professor in the UNC School of Social Work. Rebecca’s research examines the measurement of and community responses to child maltreatment. Her research is informed by 7 years of post-MSW practice working with families involved with child welfare systems, in both the public and private sectors. Rebecca has training using demographic methods and specializes in using population-based linked administrative datasets to better understand child maltreatment. She is the principal investigator of the NICHD-funded research project “The impact of COVID-19 on child maltreatment-related medical encounters and system responses using linked administrative data” (1R21HD105907-01). Her work has been published in academic journals, such as The New England Journal of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Child Maltreatment. Rebecca earned her PhD in Social Welfare from the University of Washington, received a MSW from Boston College, and has a master’s degree in education from Harvard University. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Rebecca and support her innovative and rigorous projects. Congratulations!
