The International Health Section welcomes abstracts submitted by midnight Eastern U.S. time, Tuesday, February 5, 2002 related to the overall meeting theme of "Putting the Public Back into Public Health." Where applicable, the abstracts should: (1) state the purpose of the work to be presented; (2) explain the data or information used; (3) describe the methods used; (4) present major results; and (5) state recommendations or policy implications. Please cite the theme (see list below) you are addressing in your abstract. Those abstracts related to the listed themes will receive preference for acceptance on the program. Abstracts addressing other topics also will be considered. All abstracts submitted will be peer reviewed for consideration as verbal panels or poster sessions. Indicate your preferences for presentation format on your abstract form. Those interested in organizing four-speaker panels must submit by email a brief description of the session, including names of each proposed presenter and the number assigned by this website to their abstract to the IH Planner (marty_makinen@abtassoc.com). Each proposed session participant must submit an abstract and the author identification form that accompanies it. The session organizer is responsible for communications with all members in the proposed panel. Special attention will be given to abstracts submitted by students and developing country nationals; therefore, these individuals should note their status on the abstract form. Two of the section's six poster sessions (10 posters per session) are designated for (1) students and (2) developing country nationals. One of the section's oral panels is designated for four presentations by students (theme: Student Panel). Please submit your abstract under these headings if you wish to compete in the peer-review process for these openings. All of those abstracts submitted for these designated sessions that do not make it onto them will be considered for places elsewhere on the peer-reviewed program if they qualify. If you know of someone who would like to submit an abstract who does not have access to the web, please help them to make the submission. As a last resort, the abstract and required author identification information may be mailed or faxed to the IH Program Planner (2701 Far View Drive, Mountainside, NJ 07092-1318 USA, fax 908-789-7016). Individuals who may have difficulty attending the APHA annual meeting should identify a co-author that will be able to attend and participate in the program.
