  • Multi-purpose cash transfers and health among vulnerable Syrian refugees in Jordan

    Open AccessEmily Lyles, Stephen Chua et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Cash assistance has rapidly expanded in the Syrian refugee response in Jordan and global humanitarian programming, yet little is known about the effect of multipurpose cash transfers (MPC) on health in humanitarian contexts.

  • Improving diabetes control for Syrian refugees in Jordan

    Open AccessBy Emily Lyles, Stephen Chua et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2021

    Combined conditional cash and health education were effective in improving expenditures, health service utilization, medication adherence, blood pressure, and diabetes control.

    Initial assessment found that tuberculosis among Syrian refugees was at a high incidence rate.

  • Six rapid assessments of alcohol and other substance use in populations displaced by conflict

    Open AccessNadine Ezard, Edna Oppenheimer et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2011

    The six studies show the feasibility and value of conducting rapid assessments in displaced populations. One outcome of these studies is the development of a UNHCR/WHO field guide on rapid assessment of alcohol and other substance use among conflict-affected populations. More work is required on gathering population-based epidemiological data, and much more experience is required on delivering effective interventions. Presentation of these findin…
