Asian Pacific Islander Caucus of APHA

Asian Pacific Islander Caucus of APHA	Submit Abstract
The Asian Pacific Islander (API) Caucus of the American Public Health Association invites abstracts for papers that address the theme of the 2001 Annual Meeting, "One World: Global Health" for the 2001 Annual Meeting. We encourage submissions that address the impact of globalization on the health and well being of API communitites. The API Caucus is interested in research and data on the physical, social, and environmental aspects of Asian American and Pacific Islander health. This includes work that assists in the identification of public health priorities, development of effective models of community organization and intervention, and relevant assessment and evaluation approaches for diverse Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. We continue to be interested in abstracts that address: "Asian-centric" models of health Disparities between APIs and other racial/ethnic groups as well as disparities within the API community, including international comparisons Domestic Violence Environmental Justice Hate Crimes Mental Health Psychosocial factors impacting health, including racial discrimination, culture, politics, social class, and inequality Salutogenic factors and community empowerment The year 2010 national goals for elimination of racial and ethnic disparities Underserved API Communities The API Caucus invites abstracts that are individual presentations, panel presentations, and poster sessions. Individual presentations generally last 15-20 minutes, with complete sessions lasting 90 minutes. Within these time limitations, we urge abstract submitters to consider how to maximize the learning of conference attendees, such as through the use of interactive methods. Please note that you do not have to be a member of APHA or an API Caucus member to submit an abstract. However, if your abstract is accepted for presentation you must register for the meeting and become a member of APHA in order to present at the meeting.
