Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Health services research is a field of study that brings together experts from a wide variety of academic disciplines. It also is a field that places a high priority on empirical analysis. Many of the questions posed by health services researchers involve the effects of treatments, patient and provider characteristics, and policy interventions on outcomes of interest. These are causal questions. Yet many health services researchers have been trained in disciplines that are reluctant to use the language of causality, and the approaches to causal questions are discipline specific, often with little overlap. How did this situation arise? This paper traces the roots of the division and some recent attempts to remedy the situation.

摘要
目的
卫生服务研究是一个将来自各种学术领域的专家聚集在一起的研究领域。它也是一个高度重视实证分析的领域。卫生服务研究人员提出的许多问题都涉及治疗效果、患者和提供者特征以及政策干预对相关结果的影响。这些都是因果问题。然而，许多卫生服务研究人员接受的培训是在那些不愿意使用因果关系语言的学科中进行的，而且因果问题的方法是学科特定的，往往很少有重叠。这种情况是如何产生的？本文追溯了这种分裂的根源以及最近一些试图补救这种情况的尝试。
