统计学的学科，我们作为个人统计学家，和美国统计协会（阿萨）已经被要求采取行动。我们可以而且必须在收集、分析、解释和交流证据方面发挥重要作用，以便做出明智的政策决定。我请你们回答“是”，并承担起政策选择的诚实经纪人的角色。我要求你们支持阿萨在告知政策方面的积极参与。虽然阿萨在政策论坛上的互动是将统计科学纳入政策的一个机会，但这也是一种责任，因为该协会不仅为其成员服务，而且也为公众服务。统计数据可以在从证据到政策的过程中产生重大影响。目前循证医学背景下的一个例子是比较有效性研究，该研究得到了2009年美国复苏和再投资法案的关注和资助。现在是我们作为一门学科、作为个人和作为一个协会采取行动的时候了，以确保政策决定是由证据驱动的。
The discipline of statistics, we as individual statisticians, and the American Statistical Association (ASA) have been called to action. We can and must play a vital part in the gathering, analysis, interpretation, and communication of evidence for informed policy decisions. I ask you to answer “yes” and to take on the role of an honest broker of policy alternatives. I ask you to support a proactive engagement by the ASA in informing policy. While interaction in policy forums by the ASA is an opportunity to integrate the science of statistics into policy, it also represents a responsibility, because the association serves not only its members, but also the public. Statistics can have a major impact in the journey from evidence to policy. A current illustration in the evidence-based medicine context is comparative effectiveness research, which received focus and funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The time is now for us to take action as a discipline, as individuals, and as an association to ensure that policy decisions are driven by evidence.
