Transdisciplinary collaboration refers to the work of diverse service providers – physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists and paraprofessionals – with distinct training and specializations (McCallin, 2001). Transdisciplinary collaboration has been shown to improve both the management and quality of care (Orchard, Curran, & Kabene, 2005; Pinto, Wall, Yu, Penido, & Schmidt, 2012), and is particularly relevant in substance abuse treatment which often requires the concurrent use of psychosocial and pharmacological interventions (Anton et al., 2006; Volkow, Fowler, Wangand, & Swanson, 2004). Regrettably, research is lacking about how substance abuse service providers compare in terms of their endorsement of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial interventions. Read the full length article here.
