A link between adversity, including low socio-economic status, and behaviours which carry health risks, such as alcohol consumption, has often been observed. The causes of this link are, however, poorly understood, making it difficult to explain why... Read More about Interpreting social determinants: Emergent properties and adolescent risk behaviour.
