Women's Caucus

Submit Abstract

The caucus invites abstracts on any topic related to women and health. We are particularly interested in social and political issues. We also give preference to abstracts that focus on under-served populations (such as women in jail) and topics not yet covered elsewhere at APHA (such as the health of sex workers). If you can't find a specific session related to your issue, submit it under 'assorted'.
To submit a proposal for an entire panel, submit each abstract separately, but e-mail the program planner (splichta@odu.edu) to let her know that the abstracts are all part of the same panel.
