Translational behavioral medicine involves experts from different disciplines and professions interacting to solve complex problems. Coordinating this expertise can be frustrated by the partially tacit nature of expertise and by the various ways in which it manifests in different communities. We describe a method-the Toolbox dialogue method-for addressing these challenges by means of a structured dialogue among team members concerning their respective approaches to complex problems. The Toolbox dialogue method consists of a philosophically grounded questionnaire-the "Toolbox"-deployed in workshops by collaborators from different disciplines and professions. The Health Science Toolbox was modified from an extensively utilized questionnaire designed for Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) research and has been piloted with translational medicine teams. Eighty-five percent of participants in STEM workshops indicated a positive impact on awareness of the knowledge, opinions, or scientific approach of teammates. In the Health Science Toolbox, 35 % of questionnaire responses changed substantially from pre- to post-workshop, demonstrating impact of the workshops. The Toolbox dialogue method is a relatively brief workshop encounter that can have a positive impact on mutual understanding within translational medicine teams.
转化行为医学涉及来自不同学科和专业的专家互动，以解决复杂的问题。协调这种专业知识可能会受到专业知识的部分隐性性质和其在不同社区中的不同表现方式的阻碍。我们描述了一种方法——工具箱对话方法——通过团队成员之间就其解决复杂问题的方法进行结构化对话来应对这些挑战。工具箱对话方法由一个基于哲学的问卷——“工具箱”组成，该问卷由来自不同学科和专业的合作者在研讨会上使用。健康科学工具箱是从一个广泛用于科学技术工程数学（STEM）研究的问卷修改而来的，已经在转化医学团队中进行了试点。科学技术工程数学研讨会上 85%的参与者表示，这对他们了解队友的知识、意见或科学方法有积极影响。在健康科学工具箱中，35%的问卷回答在预研讨会到研讨会后的变化很大，表明研讨会产生了影响。工具箱对话方法是一种相对简短的研讨会，它可以对转化医学团队内部的相互理解产生积极影响。
