Urban Health and Society: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Practice - Part 24

Urban Health and Society: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Practice - Part 24. This book provides the most current frameworks, research, and approaches for understanding how unique features of the urban physical and social environments that shape the health of over half of the world's population that is already residing in large cities. Its interdisciplinary research and practice focus is a welcome innovation. | Discussion Questions 211 Allow a Longer Time Frame for Collaboration Assessment Two years are not a large amount of time for a collaboration. More time is needed for members to understand the research contemplate how it could be implemented implement a program and demonstrate an impact on public health. Collaboration members and funding agencies may need to realize that ahead of time. Although traditional science may normally take years to be translated into policy transdisciplinary scientific collaboration may take even longer because of the additional time needed to conduct the work. Thus it may take ten fifteen or even twenty years to see effective translation occur. This case study highlights some of the facets of transdisciplinary action research that occurred among team members in a tobacco policy consortium. It is likely that the lessons learned from this case study will inform future funding of research into the science of team science. Guiding future scientists and professionals through the multiple phases of team collaborations will improve as we understand more about the workings of TD science training and translational initiatives. SUMMARY In this chapter we analyzed the Tobacco Policy Consortium TPC a grant-funded transdisciplinary action research consortium of tobacco researchers and community decision makers. The TPC collaborated from 2003 through 2005 with the goals of creating a grant program to support local adolescent smoking prevention efforts and developing and disseminating a research and policy brief for local state and national policymakers. Our assessments show that despite initial differences in backgrounds work styles and perspectives TPC researchers and community members DISCUSSION QUESTIONS gradually came to share views on tobacco control priorities as a result of repeated brainstorming sessions and collective discussions. Although the TPC was successful in accomplishing its major goals it fell short of achieving its full potential .
