This overview for the special issue of Health Education & Behavior on "Health Disparities and Social Inequities" briefly outlines the transdisciplinary (TD) approach to research and examines the scope of TD science. The need to embrace basic science as well as several domains of applied research is discussed along the TD "pipeline" from discovery to development to delivery to policy. The overview concludes with selected examples of the emerging TD science of disparities. One central challenge for a TD approach is the need to strengthen what is being called "the science of dissemination" along with improving the "dissemination of evidence-based science."
这篇发表于《健康教育与行为》“健康差异与社会不平等”特刊的综述简要概述了跨学科研究方法，并审视了跨学科科学的范畴。文章沿着从发现到发展、再到推广及政策制定的跨学科“流程”，探讨了融合基础科学以及多个应用研究领域的必要性。综述最后列举了新兴的跨学科差异科学的一些实例。跨学科方法面临的一个核心挑战是，在改进“循证科学的传播”的同时，需要加强所谓的“传播科学”。
