Hanna Huffstetler

About

Hanna's research seeks to understand the implementation and characteristics of laws and policies that promote (or harm) public health in both domestic and global settings. Her primary interests are focused on 1) applying mixed methods to empirically examine how particular legal and policy interventions impact health behavior, and 2) enhancing community capacity to develop and advance equity-oriented solutions. Her recent work has spanned a range of issues in public health, including national policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, HIV treatment and prevention, the development and application of human rights in global health governance, changes in development assistance for health in middle-income countries, and medical decision-making in critical care settings.
