社会科学-环境健康（SS-EH）研究采用多种结构形式，并为广泛的主题领域做出贡献。在本文中，我们讨论了 SS-EH 贡献的一般性质，并提供了 SS-EH 实践的一种新类型，该类型将此类研究置于更大的跨学科敏感性中：（1）受社会科学影响的环境健康科学； （二）环境健康社会科学研究； (3) 社会科学-环境健康合作。我们描述了我们自己和其他人工作中的例子，并讨论了研究中心、培训项目和会议在推进 SS-EH 研究中发挥的核心作用。我们认为，SS-EH 研究的第三种形式，即 SS-EH 合作，为改善公众和环境健康提供了最大的潜力，尽管这种合作面临着重大挑战，并要求研究人员不断反思。
Social science-environmental health (SS-EH) research takes many structural forms and contributes to a wide variety of topical areas. In this article we discuss the general nature of SS-EH contributions and offer a new typology of SS-EH practice that situates this type of research in a larger transdisciplinary sensibility: (1) environmental health science influenced by social science; (2) social science studies of environmental health; and (3) social science-environmental health collaborations. We describe examples from our own and others' work and we discuss the central role that research centers, training programs, and conferences play in furthering SS-EH research. We argue that the third form of SS-EH research, SS-EH collaborations, offers the greatest potential for improving public and environmental health, though such collaborations come with important challenges and demand constant reflexivity on the part of researchers.
