Data analysis

Subseries includes data for and analyses of socioeconomic aspects of Yoruba women's lives (education, migration, social class, health, children, husbands, religion, family, etc.). The 1963 data seems to be part of another study, referred to in several files as "The 1963 study on the role of Yoruba women," that either piggybacked off the Cornell-Aro study or was somehow included as a sub-project.

Cornell-Aro Mental Health Research Project in the Western Region, Nigeria (1961) and the Study on the Role of Women (1963)

Series is comprised of materials related to the 1961 Cornell-Aro Research Project in the Western Region and the 1963 Study on the Role of Women. In the Cornell-Aro study, modeled on the Stirling County Study, Leighton’s team analyze the mental health trends of Nigerians living in both major cities and small rural villages via interviews, surveys, and observations. The Role of Women study may possibly be considered a ‘sub-study’ of the Cornell-Aro study, as it uses much of the same research material supplemented by new data. Materials present include correspondence, memoranda, datasets, research notes, fieldnotes reports, speeches, photographs, forms, applications, surveys and questionnaires, medical documents, affiliated studies, and comparative analyses.
