Epidemiology\u2019s capabilities have advanced remarkably in recent decades, although research gaps have appeared during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Epidemiology\u2019s social contract reflecting a dual commitment to science and health could arguably be entirely met by producing research results under conditions variously described as objective, impartial, neutral, or independent and handing such results to decision makers and the public at large. However, a closer examination shows that those four terms address sharply distinct issues, with distinct practical implications, and that the epidemiologist responsibility is de facto involved beyond providing research results. Hence the epidemiologist\u2019s engagement should encompass arguing from a science-for-health viewpoint and proactively driving the results into decision processes on public health issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaa272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,12]],"date-time":"2020-12-12T20:09:46Z","timestamp":1607803786000},"page":"980-983","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Counterpoint: Epidemiology\u2019s Dual Social Commitment\u2014Science and Health"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Rodolfo","family":"Saracci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2021060111394207800_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"977","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaa271","article-title":"Point: reconciling epidemiology\u2019s aspirations and capabilities","volume":"190","author":"Savitz","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Epidemiol"},{"issue":"3","key":"2021060111394207800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1007\/s10654-018-0385-9","article-title":"Epidemiology in wonderland: Big Data and precision medicine","volume":"33","author":"Saracci","year":"2018","journal-title":"Eur J Epidemiol"},{"issue":"5\u20136","key":"2021060111394207800_ref3","first-page":"60","article-title":"Effect of national and local lockdowns on the control of Covid-19 pandemic: a rapid review","volume":"44","author":"Caristia","year":"2020","journal-title":"Epidemiol Prev"},{"issue":"12","key":"2021060111394207800_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1803","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2020.305950","article-title":"Learning from Covid-19: prevention is a strategic principle, not an option","volume":"110","author":"Saracci","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref5","article-title":"The pandemic's big mystery: how deadly is the coronavirus?","author":"McNeil Jr","journal-title":"New York Times"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref6","author":"World Health Organization"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref7","author":"Johns Hopkins University of Medicine"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref8","author":"Our World in Data"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref9","author":"Institute of Global Health and the Swiss Data Science Center"},{"issue":"36","key":"2021060111394207800_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1258","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6936a5","article-title":"Community and close contact exposures associated with Covid-19 among symptomatic adults \u226518 years in 11 outpatient health care facilities\u2014United States, July 2020","volume":"69","author":"Fisher","year":"2020","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/acref\/9780199976720.001.0001","volume-title":"A Dictionary of Epidemiology","author":"Porta","year":"2014","edition":"6th"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref12","author":"Committee of International Organizations of Medical Sciences"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021060111394207800_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12940-017-0296-3","article-title":"The hazards of hazard identification in environmental epidemiology","volume":"16","author":"Saracci","year":"2017","journal-title":"Environ Health"},{"key":"2021060111394207800_ref14","author":"International Agency for Research on Cancer"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Epidemiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/aje\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/aje\/kwaa272\/36462235\/kwaa272.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/aje\/article-pdf\/190\/6\/980\/38391391\/kwaa272.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"http:\/\/academic.oup.com\/aje\/article-pdf\/190\/6\/980\/38391391\/kwaa272.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]],"date-time":"2021-06-01T12:35:18Z","timestamp":1622550918000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/aje\/article\/190\/6\/980\/6038969"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/aje\/kwaa272","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9262","1476-6256"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9262","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-6256","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2021,6]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]]}}}
