医学筛查提出了社会学研究的基本问题，但目前缺乏一个完善的医学筛查社会学。这个关于筛查社会学的特刊汇集了一系列令人兴奋的新工作，从各种理论和方法论的角度来处理医学筛查。在这篇开篇文章中，我们开始解释我们所说的筛选是什么意思，以及为什么我们认为筛选值得社会学的关注。其次，我们反映了筛选的社会学，并为那些新到这一领域的介绍。然后，我们提供了在这个集合中的论文的概述，突出的链接和论文之间的对比。最后，我们反思社会学的潜在贡献更广泛的辩论筛选，并提出未来的研究方向。
Medical screening raises fundamental issues for sociological inquiry, but at present a well-developed sociology of medical screening is lacking. This special issue on the sociology of screening brings together an exciting collection of new work that tackles medical screening from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. In this opening paper, we begin by explaining what we mean by screening, and why we believe screening merits sociological attention. Secondly, we reflect on the sociology of screening to date and provide an introduction for those new to this area. We then provide an overview of the papers in this collection, highlighting links and contrasts between papers. We conclude by reflecting on sociologys potential contribution to wider debates about screening, and propose future research directions.
