  • Expanding the evidence on integration of cash assistance in gender-based violence case management in humanitarian settings

    Open AccessEmily Lyles, Nancy Gla et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2025

    The use of cash assistance in humanitarian emergencies has increased rapidly with positive outcomes across multiple objectives, including in health and protection. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is leading efforts to integrate cash assistance in Gender-Based Violence (GBV) response programs to achieve and improve protection outcomes for GBV survivors. The cash assistance within case management program was piloted in three humanitarian…

  • 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. A prospective cohort study was conducted from May 2018 through July 2019 to evaluate the effectiveness of MPC in improving access to healthcare and health expenditures by Syrian refugees in Jordan. Households receiving MPCs (…

  • Structures for the Transfer of Power in Ibn Fadlān’s Account of the Rus

    Open AccessEmily Lyles, Emily LyleARTICLEReligionsvidenskabeligt Tidsskrift2022

    In Ibn Fadlān’s account of the Rus funeral, the Indo-European symbolic triad can be recognised in the sacrifice of three pairs of creatures and in the three pairs of men positioned at the neck, arms, and feet of the woman being sacrificed in the tent on board the ship. I suggest looking at the people in the tent as a set of those who are losing power which is about to be transferred to the new king. The deaths of the six creatures in pairs and th…

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

    Open AccessEmily Lyles, Jakob Arhem et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    While MPC may have shown some positive effects, findings were mixed and MPC appears insufficient on its own to address health utilization and expenditures. A broader strategy addressing Syrian refugee health in Lebanon is needed of which MPC should be incorporated, with additional support such as additional conditional cash transfers for health

  • Cash and voucher assistance and children's nutrition status in Somalia

Evidence of the impact of cash and voucher assistance (CVA) on prevention of acute malnutrition is limited in humanitarian and development settings. This study examined the impact of CVA on prevention of child acute malnutrition in 2017/2018 in the context of the Somalia …

  • Health Service Access and Utilization among Syrian Refugees and Affected Host Communities in Lebanon

    Emily Lyles, Baptiste Hanquart et al.ARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies2017Cited by: 4References: 1

    The influx of Syrian refugees into Lebanon poses an immense burden on the health system. A survey of Syrian refugees and Lebanese host communities was conducted in early 2015 to characterize health-seeking behaviours and service access. A total of 1,376 refugee and 686 host community households were surveyed using cluster design with probability-proportional-to-size sampling. Access to health care and medication was worse among refugees as compar…

  • Prevalence, care-seeking, and health service utilization for non-communicable diseases among Syrian refugees and host communities in Lebanon

    Open AccessThe LHAS Study Team, Shannon Doocy et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2016

    Given the protracted nature of the Syrian crisis and the burden on the Lebanese health system, implications for both individuals with NCDs and Lebanon's health system are immense. The burden of out of pocket expenses on persons with NCDs are also substantial, especially given the tenuous economic status of many refugees and the less affluent segments of the Lebanese population. Greater investment in the public sector health system could benefit a…

  • Health service access and utilization among Syrian refugees in Jordan

    Open AccessShannon Doocy, Emily Lyles et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2016

    Despite high levels of care-seeking, cost was an important barrier to health service access for Syrian refugees in Jordan. The cessation of free access to health care since the time of the survey is likely to have worsened health equity for refugees. Dependence of refugees on the public facilities for primary and specialist care has placed a great burden on the Jordanian health system. To improve accessibility and affordability of health services…

  • Prevalence and care-seeking for chronic diseases among Syrian refugees in Jordan

    Open AccessShannon Doocy, Emily Lyles et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    More than half of Syrian refugee households in Jordan reported a member with a NCD. A significant minority did not receive care, citing cost as the primary barrier. As funding limitations persist, identifying the means to maintain and improve access to NCD care for Syrian refugees in Jordan is essential

  • Narrative Form and the Structure of Myth

    Open AccessEmily Lyles, Emily LyleARTICLEFolklore Electronic Journal of…2006

    At each stage in transmission of a tale from generation to generation, modifica-tions take place but something remains. Thus there is a potential for material to be retained from a time in the distant past when the narrative was embedded in a total oral worldview or cosmology. This article introduces the analogical discovery method and uses it to build up a structure based on a group of tales from Greece, Ireland and Wales. It draws the conclu-si…

    Quelle triade ? Critique et développement de la structure tripartie de Dumézil. L'auteur argumente qu'il existe deux triades distinctes dans l'idéologie indo-européenne. L'une est un ensemble simple composé de trois termes, tandis que l'autre est un ensemble complexe composé de trois relations différentes. Dumézil n'étant pas conscient de la deuxième triade, il a interprété toutes les triades significatives qu'il a trouvées comme appartenant à la…
