The focus on families and application to health sets Families, Systems, & Health apart from other sister journals. Family science is a thriving field of study experiencing rapid advances in the discovery, verification, and application of knowledge about families (Burr, Day, & Bahr, 1993; Doherty, Boss, LaRossa, Schumm, & Steinmetz, 1993; National Council on Family Relations [NCFR] Task Force on the Development of a Family Discipline, 1988). It is essential that these advances in family science are transferable to research focused on families in integrated health care contexts, and it is our hope that Families, Systems, & Health with be at the forefront in disseminating this work. While there is an abundance of research focused on families and health outcomes, there is much less focused on the dissemination and implementation of family-based interventions in health care and integrated health care contexts. In order to advance our understanding how family members are included in family-based interventions, it is essential to operationalize how family-based interventions involve and assess families. In this editorial, we describe the foundations of family science and health, how these foundations inform family-based research, and the translational bridge of family-based research in health care. We conclude by describing a tiered approach for family involvement and assessment in family-based interventions taking place in health care, with specific attention on dissemination and implementation research in integrated care settings.

综合和医疗保健领域的家庭科学和基于家庭的研究：家庭，系统和健康的未来考虑因素。

对家庭及其对健康的应用的关注使《家庭，系统与健康》与其他姊妹期刊有所不同。家庭科学是一个蓬勃发展的研究领域，在发现，验证和应用有关家庭的知识方面经历了迅速的发展（Burr，Day，＆Bahr，1993; Doherty，Boss，LaRossa，Schumm，＆Steinmetz，1993;国家家庭理事会关系[NCFR]家庭纪律发展工作组，1988年。必须将家庭科学的这些进步转移到以综合医疗保健为背景的针对家庭的研究，我们希望家庭，系统和健康部在传播这项工作中走在前列。尽管有大量针对家庭和健康状况的研究，在卫生保健和综合卫生保健方面，很少关注传播和实施基于家庭的干预措施。为了增进我们对家庭成员如何纳入基于家庭的干预措施的了解，必须实施基于家庭的干预措施如何参与和评估家庭。在这篇社论中，我们描述了家庭科学和健康的基础，这些基础如何为基于家庭的研究提供信息，以及基于家庭的研究在医疗保健中的转化桥梁。最后，我们通过描述在卫生保健中进行的基于家庭的干预措施中家庭参与和评估的分层方法，特别注意在综合护理环境中的传播和实施研究。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
