Dr. Stewart's research interests include the financing, payment, and organization of behavioral health services. Her research focuses on policy and system approaches improve access to and quality of alcohol and drug treatment services and to reduce racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities in substance use treatment services.

Dr. Stewart is currently PI of a NIDA study examining how Medicaid managed care plan policies influence access to and quality of opioid use disorder treatment, co-investigator of a NIDA study of the hub-and-spoke model of opioid treatment in Washington State, and quantitative lead of an evaluation of Massachusetts' efforts to improve access to medication for opioid use disorder. With funding from ASPE, Dr. Stewart recently completed case studies of emergency departments’ efforts to expand access to substance use treatment which started with offering medication treatment for opioid use disorder and expanded to engaging patients in treatment for alcohol and other substance use disorders.
