Abby Dunn is a Visiting Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Sussex's School of Psychology. Her research focuses on the intersection of parenting and mental health, particularly interventions to improve outcomes for parents and children. She explores parental experiences in psychiatric care and evaluates mental health practitioners' engagement with parent-patients.
Key research interests include anxiety disorders, service provision optimization, and co-production approaches in mental health interventions. Her work emphasizes preventative strategies and participatory design in healthcare settings.
Publications highlight innovative trials such as online parenting interventions and monetary incentive studies to boost research participation. Notable contributions include systematic reviews on inpatient parental care and feasibility studies on workplace support for mental health workers.
A recent grant funded by the National Institute for Health Research supports the COPPI project, a co-produced parenting program for psychiatric inpatients. This aligns with her broader commitment to bridging research and clinical practice.
