In response to Galea & Hernan article, "AJE-00585-2019.R1 - Win-win: Reconciling social epidemiology and causal inference," we offer a definition of social epidemiology. We then argue that methodological challenges most salient to social epidemiology have not been adequately addressed in quantitative causal inference, that identifying causes is a worthy scientific goal, and that quantitative causal inference can learn from social epidemiology's methodological innovations. Finally, we make three recommendations for quantitative causal inference.URL
