Scheidell's research centers on the intersections of substance use, mental health, sexual and reproductive health, and health inequities, particularly disparities in healthcare access among women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. Her key areas include substance use implications for sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, epidemiologic methods, perceived stress, sexually transmitted infections, and reproductive health. She has produced over 40 peer-reviewed publications, including highly cited works such as "A conceptual model for understanding post-release opioid-related overdose risk" published in 2019 in Addiction Science & Clinical Practice; "The relationships of childhood trauma and adulthood prescription pain reliever misuse and injection drug use" in 2016 in Drug and Alcohol Dependence; "Childhood traumatic experiences and the association with marijuana and cocaine use in adolescence through adulthood" in 2018 in Addiction; "Racial/ethnic disparities in opioid overdose prevention: comparison of the naloxone care cascade in White, Latinx, and Black people who use opioids in New York City" in 2023 in Harm Reduction Journal; and "Adverse experiences in childhood and sexually transmitted infection risk from adolescence into adulthood" in 2017 in Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
