Samantha Boch

Samantha Boch studies how contact with the criminal justice system—such as parental arrest, incarceration, or working as a correctional nurse—affects the health and well-being of children, families, and healthcare workers. Her work combines qualitative family interviews, health records data, and digital tools (like natural language processing and scoping reviews) to identify unmet social needs and improve health equity for justice-involved populations. Much of her research sits at the intersection of nursing, pediatrics, and criminology.

Publication output has grown substantially over the past decade, rising from about 1 paper per year in 2017-2018 to a peak of 10 in 2024, averaging 5 papers per year over the last five years.
