The School Health Education and Services Section encourages abstract submission for non-section members who are interested in the health and well-being of school age youth. Students are encouraged to submit abstracts of work performed as part of their academic performance and there is is a student award that will be presented. Clearly identify a student submission and verify that it was not a part of professional (employed) performance. Also, select for student abstract submissions the sessions that include student research in the titles.
