Bouvé, CSSH

Samantha Garbers is a member of the WGSS Executive Committee. Her research areas include Scholarship of teaching and learning; Sexual and reproductive health; Adolescent health; Program evaluation.

Leveraging her training as an epidemiologist, Samantha Garbers works with community-based, clinical, and educational stakeholders to integrate rigorous methods for process and outcome evaluation into interventions, with a focus on promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights, adolescent health and well-being, and educational engagement.

She works in partnership to develop, adapt, implement, and evaluate innovative interventions to improve public health for diverse populations including sexual and gender minority youth and adults, adolescent males and women seeking reproductive health care, Latinx and Black communities, and individuals with limited health literacy.

Samantha has served as Principal Investigator on projects including a mind-body integrative health intervention to improve sleep for adolescents living in urban areas, community-based participatory research to improve pregnancy intention screening for patients served in primary care settings, and assessing telehealth-supported long-acting reversible contraceptive services in school-based health centers.

In her academic leadership and educational research Dr. Garbers applies the same principles of innovation and person-centered interventions, with a focus on inclusive teaching; monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEAL) in education, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
