OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Impact of demand-side cash transfer programs and community health workers on women’s health outcomes
This study looks jointly at the health effects of the world’s largest demand-side maternal cash transfer program—India’s Janani Suraksha Yojana and community health worker (CHW) interactions. Using difference-in-differences, I exploit the differences in the percentage rollout of both policy instruments across districts. Preliminary results indicate that cash transfers and CHW interactions increase delivery in a public institution and reduce neonatal mortality.
