Dr Michelle Maden

About me:

I am an evidence synthesis methodologist with an interest in information retrieval and equity considerations. I have 5 years’ experience of project managing different types of evidence synthesis including, systematic reviews, rapid reviews, mixed-methods reviews and scoping reviews and over 20 years’ experience of authoring/co-authoring different types of reviews. My thesis explored how we can help systematic reviewers, particularly those unfamiliar with health inequalities, to consider socio-economic inequalities in evidence synthesis. I am passionate about embedding equity into all research. In addition, I am a qualified information specialist and have vast experience in developing and conducting complex searches to support different types of review.
