Social and behavioural factors are critical to the emergence, spread and containment of human disease, and are key determinants of the course, duration and outcomes of disease outbreaks. Recent epidemics of Ebola in West Africa and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) globally have reinforced the importance of developing infectious disease models that better integrate social and behavioural dynamics and theories. Meanwhile, the growth in capacity, coordination and prioritization of social science research and of risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) practice within the current pandemic response provides an opportunity for collaboration among epidemiological modellers, social scientists and RCCE practitioners towards a mutually beneficial research and practice agenda. Here, we provide a review of the current modelling methodologies and describe the challenges and opportunities for integrating them with social science research and RCCE practice. Finally, we set out an agenda for advancing transdisciplinary collaboration for integrated disease modelling and for more robust policy and practice for reducing disease transmission.

社会和行为因素对于人类疾病的出现、传播和遏制至关重要，并且是疾病暴发的过程、持续时间和结果的关键决定因素。最近在西非爆发的埃博拉病毒和 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 在全球范围内的流行加强了开发能够更好地整合社会和行为动力学和理论的传染病模型的重要性。与此同时，在当前的大流行应对中，社会科学研究和风险沟通与社区参与 (RCCE) 实践的能力、协调和优先次序的增长为流行病学建模者、社会科学家和 RCCE 从业者之间的合作提供了机会，以实现互惠互利的研究和实践议程。这里，我们回顾了当前的建模方法，并描述了将它们与社会科学研究和 RCCE 实践相结合的挑战和机遇。最后，我们制定了一项议程，以推进综合疾病建模的跨学科合作，以及为减少疾病传播制定更强有力的政策和实践。
