Dr Annette Bauer is Associate 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. Her research on the Cost of Perinatal Mental Health Problems informed national policy in the UK and internationally. She has since led the development of research and practical tools to help inform decision-making in perinatal mental health.
