The PHN Section invites abstracts on papers and posters that focus on all areas of Public Health Nursing, with particular emphasis on the 2003 APHA theme "Behavior, Lifestyle and Social Determinants of Health." Abstracts should relate to education, practice, research, and/or policy. Those interested in creating an entire session must contact Kathy Jaskowiak, Program Chair, no later than January 30, 2003 for further instructions. Topics of particular interest this year include: the Section's Five Year Plan for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities, public health nursing competencies, public health system capacity and infrastructure, environmental health, and global health. For those without online capability, hardcopy of the abstract must be sent to the Program Chair, Kathleen Jaskowiak, MSN before January 30,2003. Ongoing interest areas for all abstracts include the following:
Undergraduate and graduate student abstracts are requested for the Student Poster Session. Student status must be explicitly noted at the beginning of the abstract, indicating BSN, Masters, or Doctoral level of study at the time the project or paper was completed, as well as their anticipated date of educational program completion and earned degree. Students should address the focal areas and abstract content requirements noted above. All students whose posters are accepted will receive special recognition at a Student Reception at the APHA Annual Meeting. Awards will be given for the winning posters in the categories of Undergraduate, Master’s and Doctoral level student submissions. CALL FOR ABSTRACTS FOR "NEW INVESTIGATOR SYMPOSIUM" The Research Committee of the PHN Section invites doctoral candidates to submit research abstracts that spotlight public health related research and links to the theme of the meeting "Behavior, Lifestyle and Social Determinants of Health." High quality PHN researchers are sought whose work shows promise for the future and who, if selected, are willing to travel to San Fancisco, California to present their paper. Applicants for this session must explicitly state (a) their interest being considered for the New Investigator Symposium, (b) they are doctoral students who have recently completed, or are nearing dissertaion completion and will graduate prior to Fall, 2003. The abstract must include purpose, methods, findings, conclusions, name of dissertation chair, name of university, and expected date of graduation. The Research Committee of the PHN Section, chaired by Dr. M. Kay Sandor, will conduct a "blind review" of all abstracts and develop the symposium. |
