Significant progress has been made in developing the biological, social, and behavioral science base for public health services. But this knowledge will have limited value unless it is transformed into programs and services for the people who need them. The systems and mechanics for this transmutation may not have reached their full potential. Assuring that they do so offers, in the 1990s, a challenge and an opportunity for the public health community.
在为公共卫生服务建立生物、社会和行为科学基础方面已取得重大进展。但除非将这些知识转化为面向有需要人群的项目和服务,否则其价值将十分有限。这种转化的体系和机制可能尚未发挥出全部潜力。确保它们发挥潜力,在20世纪90年代为公共卫生界带来了挑战,也带来了机遇。
