The article by professors Galea and Link in this issue of the Journal (Am J Epidemiol. 2013;178(6):843-849) is an important contribution to the field of social epidemiology. Their 6 paths provide ample fodder for reflection, debate, and advancement. Although I agree with the thrust and spirit of their recommendations, I argue that if social epidemiology is to advance and become not just more popular but also more useful, we social epidemiologists need to first address our disciplinary pathologies. Among other things, we must embrace macro-to-micro transitions, understand and act on the principles of effect identification, conduct many more experiments, and train students to be not researchers but scientists.

:Galea和Link教授在本期杂志上发表的文章(Am J Epidemiol。2013; 178(6):843-849)对社会流行病学领域做出了重要贡献。他们的6条道路为反思,辩论和进步提供了充足的饲料。尽管我同意他们的建议的主旨和精神,但我认为,如果社会流行病学要发展并不仅变得流行,而且变得更加有用,那么我们社会流行病学家需要首先解决我们的学科病态。除其他事项外,我们必须接受从宏观到微观的转变,了解效果识别的原理并采取行动,进行更多的实验,并训练学生不是研究人员而是科学家。
