DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, an epidemiologist (Téllez-Rojo) and a medical a
 nthropologist (Roberts) reflect on our decade of collaboratively "making b
 etter numbers" about environmental health in Mexico City. Our bioethnograp
 hic approach involves first\, an open-ended\, data collection stage with a
  small “n” that often generates surprising findings. These findings ca
 n then be used to iteratively test hypotheses at a larger scale using both
  life and social science methods and analysis. Our talk focuses on two bio
 ethnographic projects. In the first\, we leveraged our open-ended findings
  from a small number of households\, about the relationship between water 
 intermittency to chronic health conditions\, (diabetes\, CV disease)\, to 
 generate nationally representative quantitative data on the previously hid
 den phenomena and health impacts of household water intermittency across M
 exico. In the second\, we conducted open-ended household chemical assessme
 nts to understand how residents of working class neighborhoods interact wi
 th cleaning products to better hone in on specific environmental health ri
 sks in Mexico City. Along with describing our bioethnographic approach and
  projects\, we discuss the many challenges we have faced in carrying out t
 his kind of multidisciplinary work.\n\nThe TRIADS Speaker Series is co-spo
 nsored by the Digital Intelligence & Innovation Accelerator.\n\nRSVP to at
 tend.
