This section invites papers, posters and sessions that address current and relevant health education themes, along with this year’s APHA theme, “Evidence Based Policy and Practice." Of particular interest are papers related to the following:
- Community Mobilization
- Diversity, Disparity and Inclusivity
- Ethical Issues
- Health Communication and/or Health Risk Communication
- Health Education/Health Education Programming
- Innovative Practices
- Public Health Policy
- Special Focus Populations (minorities and emerging majorities, sexual orientation issues, age-group issues, Indian/Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiian issues, etc.)
- Technology in Public Health
- 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:
- submit each abstract individually through the online system,
- note the assigned abstract number for each paper,
- send an email to sradius@towson.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 as individual submissions. Please note that in order to provide as full a program as possible, PHEHP does NOT generally accept full sessions related to a single project.
