Dr. Boulet is an Associate Professor and Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Her work focuses on using community-engaged approaches to understanding and addressing the social and structural drivers of maternal health inequities. Research in Dr. Boulet’s lab integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to characterize the multilevel factors contributing to maternal health disparities and identify individual and systems-level interventions to promote equity and improve health outcomes across the lifecourse. Specific areas of interest include hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum complications, severe maternal morbidity, access to care, infertility, and maternal vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Boulet is currently a principal investigator on an NIH-funded study investigating how structural racism contributes to adverse perinatal outcomes among Black birthing people living in Georgia.
