Honestly, the complete takeover of population health policy and approaches by a #medicalized notion of #MethodologicalIndividualism sort of fills me with despair -- not just now, but for the future of public health.

Of all the missteps CDC has made, the doubling-down on approaches that position the individual as the unit of change (#MethodologicalIndividualism and b/c of the source) essentially sanctions it as the dominant mode for public health practice is arguably rock bottom.

It's in the scientific guidance as well. Look at this sentence:
This is of course NOT a Whole Population Approach or even a structural approach to health equity which would require action from those with the power and agency to redress the effects of #StructuralViolence and

Multimorbidity(MM), the co-occurrence of multiple, chronic conditions, where none is more central, is the norm worldwide. MM challenges the person and clinicians in a fragmented healthcare system, aided by single disease guidelines. #medtwitter soundcloud.com/bmjpodcasts/wh…
Complexity in MM vary and relate to conditions, individual & social context. I aimed to investigate clinically relevant measures of MM and how socioeconomic position (SEP), a known complicating context, related to these in prevalence distribution and joint impact on mortality.
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII I was bummed too! I was really looking forward to their responses to my question/comment... 😏
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII I disagree with Miguel that most social epi exposures are analogous to the nutritional and biomarker examples he gave. For instance, his income example (this is supposed to be the easy one)...
@EpiEllie @eschisterman1 @JohnPamplinII His examples of hypothetical experimental manipulations leave out 3 considerations imp to #SocialEpi folks: 1) life course, 2) larger units of analysis (we are into health of communities, not just individuals), and 3) feedback mechanisms (if you give folks more $$,...3/
