Abstract
⺠Integration of multiple disciplines to analyze seasonal dynamics of disease risk in a flood plain environment. ⺠Applied to a peri-urban context of poor environmental health conditions and low-income population dependent on river water. ⺠High seasonality of environmental conditions did not produce significant overall changes in diarrheal disease risk. ⺠Outcomes complicated by seasonal behaviours, household variation in risk factors and multiple disease pathways. ⺠Underlines how social science inputs can enhance explanatory depth in environmental health research design.
