Rural health research is a broad field that benefits from input from clinicians, consumers, community members and academics alike, particularly in collaborative teams of diverse backgrounds. Rural health research involves a range of methods, from quantitative techniques and qualitative approaches to medical file audits, quality improvement activities, evaluation and beyond. Rural health research can answer questions of importance to rural communities. It can generate new knowledge and translate evidence to improve rural health outcomes and rural healthcare delivery. It has much potential, but also possible pitfalls
