墨西哥有1.29亿人口，被认为是世界上最不平等的国家之一，健康差距很大。迫切需要加强墨西哥的流行病学能力，以帮助解决该国面临的复杂卫生问题，并减少卫生不公平现象。然而，墨西哥流行病学家在北美最大的流行病学学会的代表性很低，尽管距离美国很近。在这篇评论中，我们讨论了更高的代表性的墨西哥流行病学家在流行病学研究协会（SER），包括语言障碍，成本和区域的必要性的障碍。我们还讨论了扩大墨西哥SER代表和合作的机会。总的来说，我们希望这是一个呼吁扩大SER的全球参与，并开始就流行病学研究的共同议程进行对话。
Mexico has a population of 129 million and is considered one of the most unequal countries in the world, suffering from widespread health disparities. There is a pressing need to strengthen epidemiologic capacity in Mexico, to help solve the complex health problems the country faces and to reduce health inequities. However, the representation of Mexican epidemiologists in the largest epidemiologic society in North America is low, despite the short distance to the United States. In this commentary, we discuss the barriers to higher representation of Mexican epidemiologists within the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER), including language barriers, costs, and regional necessities. We also discuss opportunities to expand Mexican SER representation and collaboration. Overall, we hope that this is a call towards expanding SER global participation and starting a conversation on a common agenda for epidemiologic research.
