Dr Nadine Seward

Honorary Lecturer in Implementation Science

Nadine is a Chancellor’s Fellow (CF) based in the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences. Nadine is interested in the co-design and evaluation of complex mental health programmes for scale-up in poorly resourced settings.

Prior to the CF, Nadine worked as an Epidemiologist and Lecturer in Global Implementation Science at the IOPPN at KCL and held a post doc position at LSHTM in the Department of Med Stats. Nadine obtained her PhD from UCL, Institute of Global Health in 2015.

As part of the CF, Nadine will be using a combination a causal inference and causal machine learning to inform the co-development of interventions to help improve maternal mental health in low-resourced settings in low- and middle-income countries. To achieve this, she will use both longitudinal datasets such as the Generation Malawi dataset, as well as data from trials evaluating the effectiveness of psychological interventions to improve maternal mental health. A collaboration will be developed to provide feedback on the findings and to apply for further funding.

Nadine is also a CO-I in other research programmes including: CO-morbid Long-term disease Management in the Americas: blended intervention (COLMA); SuPporting African communities to increase the Resilience and mental health of Kids with developmental disorders and their caregivers (SPARK); Scaling-up co-designed adolescent mental health interventions (SUMMIT). In addition, Nadine is involved with offering statistical support to other research programmes such as the Generation Malawi Cohort, and Psychosis Recovery Orientation in Malawi by Improving Services and Engagement (PROMISE).
