Maggi Price, PhD

Assistant Professor
Boston College
Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, United States

Dr. Maggi A. Price (she/her) is a licensed psychologist, mental health disparity and intervention researcher, and an Assistant Professor at Boston College, in the School of Social Work. She completed her clinical and research training at Boston College, Harvard University, and Yale School of Medicine.

Dr. Price's primary research focus centers on the reduction of mental health disparities, particularly among stigmatized youth populations, including transgender youth and youth of Color. Her research efforts are bifurcated into two core domains:
(1) Examination of Mental Health Inequities: Dr. Price conducts rigorous analyses of existing data to better understand the factors contributing to disparities in mental health outcomes. Of particular interest is the investigation of structural stigma, encompassing laws, policies, and societal norms that impede the rights and well-being of stigmatized individuals.
(2) Development of Interventions to Promote Mental Health Equity: Collaborating closely with affected communities, Dr. Price is dedicated to devising pragmatic and multilevel interventions aimed at rectifying mental health disparities. A significant aspect of her ongoing intervention research concentrates on enhancing mental health services and school-based supports for transgender youth.

Dr. Price's contributions to the field have earned her numerous accolades and prestigious fellowships from both local and national entities, including the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Psychological Association. Her intervention research has been supported by grants from Boston College, the American Psychological Foundation, and a distinguished Early Career Award from the National Institute of Mental Health.
