This section invites papers, posters and sessions that address current and relevant health education themes, along with this year’s APHA theme, “Behavior, Lifestyle, and Social Determinants of Public Health." Of particular interest are papers related to the following:
- Community Involvement
- Cultural Competency
- Diversity, Disparity, and Inclusivity
- Encouraging Healthy Choices
- Ethical Issues
- Health and/or Health Risk Communication
- Health Education/Health Promotion Programming
- Innovative Practices
- Issues related to Health Education Policy
- Public Health and the Internet
- Solicited Sessions
- Special Focus Populations (minorities and emerging majorities, sexual orientation issues, Indian/Alaskan Native/Native Hawaiian issues, etc.)
- 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. Session abstract submissions must also provide at least two learning objectives for each individual abstract submission, and in addition, the overall session proposal submission must have at least two, but no more than three, learning objectives. In addition, any submission for a full session requires that an email be sent to the program chair listing all abstracts to be considered together and a description of the overall session. Without this additional step, abstracts will be considered separately. Learning objectives are needed as a standing APHA requirement and consideration for CHES contact hours. Incomplete abstracts cannot be reviewed.
