The Injury Control and Emergency Health Services (ICEHS) section invites abstracts related to the prevention and control of unintentional and intentional injuries and to emergency health services, including service delivery issues in treatment and rehabilitation. Abstracts must be submitted via this website. The deadline for submitting abstracts to ICEHS section is midnight EST on Thursday, February 7, 2002. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed and considered for presentation at the 130th Annual Meeting of the American Public Health Association, to be held November 9-13, 2002, in Philadelphia, PA. The theme for the 2002 meeting is "Putting the Public Back into Public Health". Abstracts are reviewed in two general categories: research and program. Research abstracts typically include purpose, methods, results, and conclusions from a research study. Program abstracts typically include a description of the development and implementation of an injury prevention program. Evaluations of injury prevention programs may be submitted in either category. Subjects of interest include, but are not limited to:
Proposals for special sessions may be submitted and should identify at least two qualified speakers and include abstracts and author ID forms for each proposed paper. Persons proposing special sessions should advise one of the Scientific Program Committee Co-Chairs (see contact information below) of their intention and the topic of the session, and, for future reference, should record the abstract number of each paper submitted for the session. Best Student Paper Award: Each year, ICEHS grants an award for the best student paper accepted and presented at the annual meeting. Applicants who are currently enrolled in a degree program or have completed their programs within the last year, and have not previously presented the same data at a professional meeting or published the data, are welcome to participate. Abstracts submitted to the late-breaker session will not be considered for the student competition. To participate in the competition, students must: 1) submit their abstract, via this website, by February 7, 2002; 2) send a letter or email to Dr. Susan G.
