Summary
While changing an individual or group SES is at best a long term and challenging social objective, proximal risk factors for injury can be more readily modified. Once the proximal risk factor differential across SES groups has been adequately delineated, then the possibility arises for targeted public health intervention to redress the SES differential in the incidence of injury. The sophistication of the proposed modeling will result in a good assessment of the best point to target.
