Dr. Stuart's research focuses on the interplay between substance use disorders and intimate partner violence (IPV), investigating etiology, classification, assessment, prevention, maintenance, and treatment across the lifespan—from child abuse and dating aggression to IPV and elder mistreatment. His NIH-funded work since 2000 has resulted in over 300 peer-reviewed publications and involvement in more than 40 grants as principal investigator, coinvestigator, or mentor. Key findings highlight the co-occurrence of IPV and substance abuse in clinical populations and the benefits of integrated treatment modalities.
