Excerpt

I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect and respond to the commentaries of Drs. Burkhart and Biglan. I am in agreement with most of what they say, particularly, the point that environment is a key determinant of health risk behavior and as such, should be a main focus for prevention action. …

In his insightful and detailed commentary, Dr Burkhart makes a number of helpful suggestions for attributes that could possibly have been considered within the scope of the new taxonomy. Many of these have indeed been thought about, but were not included in the paper for the sake of brevity and clarity. In this response, I have not written about these sins of omission, but instead I have focused on the possible sins of commission pointed out by Gregor, i.e., more fundamental challenges to the proposed form and function taxonomy.
