Despite longstanding evidence of the enormous impact of socioeconomic conditions on population health, social sciences remain marginal to academic medicine. In this Perspective, we propose the integration of social sciences into the three pillars of academic medicine-education, research, and clinical practice-to build the theoretical and methodological foundations for identifying the mechanisms through which social and community factors shape health and disease, and to advance sustainable community engagement in the creation of medical knowledge.
尽管长期以来有证据表明社会经济状况对人群健康有着巨大影响，但社会科学在学术医学中仍处于边缘地位。在这篇观点文章中，我们提议将社会科学融入学术医学的三大支柱——教育、研究和临床实践——以建立理论和方法基础，用以识别社会和社区因素影响健康与疾病的机制，并推动社区持续参与医学知识的创造。
