  abstract = {{I}n 2017, the {I}nstitute of {T}ropical {M}edicine {P}edro {K}ouri, {U}niversity of {M}ontreal {P}ublic {H}ealth {R}esearch {I}nstitute, and {M}c{G}ill {U}niversity joined efforts to provide scenarios for scientific exchange and knowledge dissemination about the social science contribution on arboviral research. {T}his commentary describes the scientific collaboration between {C}uban and {C}anadian ({Q}uebec) institutions, illustrating the need and opportunities to facilitate research and effective decision-making processes for arboviral prevention and control, going beyond traditional biomedical aspects. {W}e organized a set of scientific activities within three international events conducted in {C}uba between 2017 and 2018. {G}iven the collaborating institutions' expertise and the knowledge gaps in arboviral research, we selected three main thematic areas: social determinants and equity, community-based interventions and use of evidence for decision-making. {T}he partnership shows that interdisciplinary collaboration and the use and integration of quantitative and qualitative methods from the social sciences is essential to face the current challenges in arbovirus research.},
