Interdisciplinary Collaboration to Strengthen the Public Health Response: Insights from Health Information, Radiology, and Pharmacy

Abstract

The vast potential of interdisciplinary collaborations to address pressing issues starts with academic researchers. Understanding and raising awareness of available resources, including those supported by various organizations, are critical tools. In the domain of public health, there is an emphasis on coupling project descriptions with several keen editorial perspectives that offer advice to investigators and teams who aim to address subject areas as far-ranging as youth and young adult reproductive health, suicide prevention, and oral health disparities. Integrating findings across disciplines also requires new ways to discuss insights and promote acceptance while acknowledging the limitations of different methods and data.
