Dr. Stewart's research investigates uterine fibroids and adenomyosis with emphasis on health disparities affecting Black patients who experience earlier onset and more severe symptoms. Her NIH-funded work spans epidemiology, genetics, economics, and novel treatments including MR-guided focused ultrasound and uterine artery embolization. She pioneers behavioral interventions to eliminate disparities and studies long-term hysterectomy outcomes while developing prevention strategies for uterine diseases.
