Public Health Education and Health Promotion

Submit Abstract

This section invites papers, posters and sessions that address current and relevant health education themes, along with this year’s APHA theme, “Public Health and the Environment." Of particular interest are papers related to the following:
  • Community Mobilization and Environmental Justice
  • Diversity, Disparity and Inclusivity
  • Environmental Public Health Education and Promotion
  • Ethical Issues
  • Health and/or Health Risk Communication
  • Health Education/ Health Education Programming
  • Innovative Practices
  • Public Health and the Internet
  • Special Focus Populations (minorities and emerging majorities, sexual orientation issues, Indian/Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiian issues, etc.)
  • Topical issues: e.g. tobacco, alcohol, depression, HIV/AIDS, violence, nutrition, injury prevention, and physical activity
  • Worksite Health Promotion
Individual abstract submissions must include at least two learning objectives. Learning objectives are needed as a standing APHA requirement and consideration for CHES contact hours. Incomplete abstracts cannot be reviewed.

Authors who wish to have multiple abstracts considered as one session must take the following steps: 1. submit each abstract individually through the online system, 2. note the assigned abstract number for each paper, 3. send an email to JHinman@sph.emory.edu with the title of your session, numbers for each of the abstracts and any other relevant information. Without these steps, all abstracts will be considered individually. Please note that in order to provide as full a program as possible, PHEHP does NOT accept full sessions related to a single project.
