You are invited to submit an abstract for a poster or oral presentation. Please refer to APHA’s general guidelines for further information on these formats and indicate the desired format on your abstract page. If you are planning to submit a proposal for a session with multiple participants (i.e., panel or roundtable) please note that each participant must submit an abstract. Favorable consideration will be given to those panel or roundtable sessions which include at least one student participant.
On your abstract, please indicate whether the session is to be considered for CE credit and in what discipline(s). All abstracts received by the deadline will be blind-reviewed by Section members, and ranked for quality and topic applicability to Section priorities.
If you need assistance preparing your abstract, please do not hesitate to contact the program chairs.
