Editor's Notes
What are they: preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
The majority of health problems among adolescents are due to risky behaviors rather than biological dysfunction. Almost 3/4 of adolescent mortality is a result of motor vehicle crashes, homicide, suicide and unintentional injuries.

Reviewed responses based on insurance status to give us an idea as related to SES. No other published risk data is able to provide this information.
