| The tension between scientific research and advocacy runs deep in epidemiology. In particular during periods of threats to population health, researchers fell the urge to advocate without sufficient data or to over-generalize. Such tension is particularly strong in public health a social technology that is propelled by scientifically informed policies. Drawing on examples from political, community and labor activism, the researchers in this panel will illustrate the difficulties and opportunities of combining population health research with advocacy that aims at improving the health of populations. | |||
