Dr Hunt's research focuses on complex interventions and how evidence is used in the real world. She is interested in understanding complex and dynamic information for specialist and non-specialist decision making - what do people find useful, versus what evidence is available? How do we identify and measure things that matter to people, versus the things that are usually measured? Who do we produce this evidence for, and why?
Her training is in epidemiology, psychology and public health with particular expertise in health and the environment, mental health, and health system evaluation. She works closely with service users, stakeholders and professionals across disciplines in embedded and collaborative roles to develop deeper understanding, explore different perspectives, and co-create guidance for improved health outcomes.
Dr Hunt is part of the European Centre for the Environment and Human Health evaluating green and blue health through several linked programmes of work, including the Horizon 2020 pan-European RESONATE project and the National Evaluation of the extended Green Social Prescribing Test & Learn Pilots.
