 ee all authors and presenters → Abstract Background The syndemic of sever
 e acute malnutrition (SAM) and malaria in under-five children co-occurrin
 g with the impacts of climate change in Rajasthan presents a critical pub
 lic health challenge. Current SAM and malaria programs are implemented as
  vertical interventions despite the potential benefits of integrated appr
 oaches\, particularly in the context of climate variability. A better und
 erstanding of the interactions between these factors is important to stre
 ngthen the delivery of integrated services.Objective: This study investig
 ates the relationship between under-five SAM\, malaria infections\, and c
 limate variables at the block level in Rajasthan to inform targeted\, int
 egrated interventions. By running regression analyses and spatiotemporal 
 clustering of malaria and malnutrition hotspots\, we will identify associ
 ations between these co-occurring health threats and recommend priority r
 egions to guide state-level policy integration. Methods To the best of ou
 r knowledge\, this is the first study to analyze data for under-five chil
 dren spanning 6 years (2013-2019) at the block level for the state of Raj
 asthan using a repeated cross-sectional design. These data have been retr
 ieved from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) government por
 tal and are used to examine seasonal and geographic trends\, revealing mo
 re granular insights into the relationship between these variables over s
 ix years. The following hypotheses are tested using mixed-effects regress
 ion and spatiotemporal analyses: (1) Blocks with higher under-five SAM ca
 ses are more likely to experience higher malaria prevalence\; (2) Under-f
 ive malaria infections and SAM exhibit seasonal variations influenced by 
 climate factors\; and (3) Spatiotemporal clustering of hotspots can ident
 ify priority regions for integrated interventions. Results and Implicatio
 ns Findings will enhance the currently limited understanding of the under
 -five SAM -malaria-climate nexus at the block level and provide insights 
 to support integrated intervention strategies\, improving child health ou
 tcomes in Rajasthan’s evolving syndemic.\n\nSpeakers:\nDebbie Humphries\;
