The social and behavioral sciences are at a crossroads inpublic health. In this paper, we attempt to describe a path toward the further investigation of the natural and behavioral sciences with respect to the study of behavior and health. Three innovations are porposed. First we extend and modify the stream of causation metaphor along two axes time and levels of nested systems of social and biological organization, Second we address the question of whether upstream features of social context are causes of disease, fundamental or otherwise. Finally we propose the concept of a risk develop a multilevel framework for the study of health behaviors and obesity in social and biological context.
