The Social Patterning of Subjective Health and Well-being in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Sociocultural and Multi-Method Approaches

Generally, with the ambition of being an applied sociologist, I am keen on researching urban problems, violence, child labor, and mental health-related stigma and discrimination. Recently, my focus shifted to medical sociology, particularly the sociocultural roots (religion, social capital, social networks) of health and well-being.
