In a multi-faceted discipline such as Public Health, interdisciplinary approaches are a welcome addition to the research field. Interdisciplinary research can bring new insights and understanding across disciplinary boundaries. Novel interdisciplinary research can transcend disciplinary boundaries to address sophisticated and so-called wicked problems in society. However, there are potential difficulties arising from researchers trained in different individual disciplines attempting to work together. We have highlighted some of these issues which interdisciplinary research in Public Health needs to consider and, where necessary, address before they become barriers.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Health Prospect}, author={van Teijlingen, Edwin Roland and Regmi, Pramod R. and Adhikary, Pratik and Aryal, Nirmal and Simkhada, Padam}, year={2019}, month={Mar.}, pages={4–7} }
