改善人口健康需要了解和改变社会结构和功能，但抵消力量有时会破坏这些变化，从而反映了公共卫生系统固有的适应性复杂性。本文的目的是提出系统思维作为公共卫生领域团队科学实践的概念准则，并将跨学科、转化研究作为促进科学功能效率的催化剂。本文为系统思维和跨学科研究的概念理解奠定了基础，并将提供公共卫生内外的说明性例子。将提出一系列以系统为中心的转化科学方法的建议。
Improving population health requires understanding and changing societal structures and functions, but countervailing forces sometimes undermine those changes, thus reflecting the adaptive complexity inherent in public health systems. The purpose of this paper is to propose systems thinking as a conceptual rubric for the practice of team science in public health, and transdisciplinary, translational research as a catalyst for promoting the functional efficiency of science. The paper lays a foundation for the conceptual understanding of systems thinking and transdisciplinary research, and will provide illustrative examples within and beyond public health. A set of recommendations for a systems-centric approach to translational science will be presented.
