Chris is a third-year doctoral student and a Research Assistant in the CRèMe Lab. His research goal is to develop culturally sensitive measures that adequately address the needs of diverse populations, especially Africans and African Americans. His primary focus is translating, adapting, and validating frequently used psychological instruments in Ghanaian cultural settings. In addition, he is interested in developing alternative mental health instruments that are culturally responsive and relevant to minority groups. Chris' prior research concentration was related to the impacts of psychosocial crises on mental health, and development of psychosocial interventions for marginalized groups in society.
