Annette Bauer
Annette Bauer is Assistant Professorial Research Fellow in the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Her research is driven by a desire to develop and apply methodologies that can produce evidence and knowledge useful to those making or informing decisions about how resources are spent to improve population wellbeing. This includes participatory, realist and mixed method approaches to economic evaluation. She has been working as an advisor to the government, and government and non-government bodies, large research programmes, and provides advice a Trustee to charities such as Action on Postpartum Psychosis and Global Alliance for Maternal Mental Health. Her research on cost of perinatal mental health problems had major impact on policy in the UK and was part of the LSE Research Excellence Framework case impact study.
Annette has led and contributed to over 50 economic evaluations and analyses of complex, prevention-focused mental health and social care programmes in the UK and Europe and globally. She has successfully gained grant funding from many national and international funding bodies.
Annette has published her work in over 60 peer-reviewed articles, including in high impact academic journals, such as Lancet Psychiatry, Journal of Affective Disorder and Psychological Medicine, and presents at national and international conferences and events.

| Research interests | My research is driven by a desire to develop and apply methodologies that can produce evidence and knowledge useful to those making or informing decisions about how resources are spent, and services and support provided to improve population wellbeing. My expertise is the economic evaluation and analysis of complex, prevention-focused mental health and social care policies, programmes, and interventions, that seek to address underlying social determinists and inequalities. This includes the use of theory-driven approaches, mixed-methods, and economic modelling, drawing on Theory of Change, realist synthesis, complex system thinking, and implementation science. I led several economic research projects in the perinatal mental health area over the last 10 years in the UK, Europe and in low- and middle-income countries, which had major impacts on change in policy, research, and practice. My interest in to employ participatory methods towards economic evaluation and modelling, and applying a system approach to the promotion and generation of economic evidence, in areas concerning vulnerable populations and in systems with limited capacity and capabilities to generate or use economic evidence. |
