Abstract
There are significant implications for epidemiology, public health and social justice from the recent critiques of modern risk factor epidemiology by Susser and others. The need to move away from a focus at the proximal end of causal pathways and from single risk factors in individuals to looking at populations and the social and environmental contexts in which risk factors arise, points us more towards the social antecedents of diseases and other poor outcomes. In this paper I argue that we must pursue this broader agenda if we are to address the increasing burden of social morbidity in our communities, particularly amongst children and youth.
