Marwa's research interests lie at the intersection of public health, health policy, and health disparities, with a primary focus on behavioral health research. Her work contributed to describing trends and racial disparities in overdose deaths during the opioid epidemic and the important role of polysubstance use. Her dissertation, focusing on mental health, aims to take stock of the changes in mental healthcare access and affordability among US adults in the last decade (2011-2019), with a quasi-experimental evaluation of the contributions of the ACA’s Marketplace and non-group market reforms. Marwa has also training and research experience in survey methodology and psychometrics. For her master's thesis, she developed and validated an instrument to assess community pharmacists' intention to provide pharmaceutical care services.
