The Ethics Forum invites abstracts for panel discussions, oral presentations, and posters on topics concerning ethics and public health. The focus of this year's conference is "Politics, Policy and Public Health". We encourage researchers, authors, and students to consider the unique intersection between ethics, politics, policy and public health practice. Sessions that discuss relevant findings, case studies, materials, programs, or information linking ethics, politics, policy, and public health are strongly encouraged, as are reports of ethics activities in State and local health departments. Submission of topics related to other areas of ethics and public health are also welcome. Issues include, but are not limited to:
Public Health Science, Ethics, Policy, and Politics (for example, the role of science, ethics, and politics in public health policy-making; ethical issues raised by activities that enjoy political support but where evidence may be lacking or inconclusive; public health policies that raise ethical concerns, such as surveillance, quarantine, etc.) Emerging Issues: Ethics, Policy, Politics and Public Health (for example, ethical concerns that have emerged as the focus of public health activities shifts to chronic diseases and incorporates new research fields such as genetics/genomics; inclusion of representatives of vulnerable populations in the formation and planning of population-focused public health policy, research, and practice.) Civil Rights and Public Health (for example, history and current role of civil rights issues in public health and developing concern regarding civil rights in public health; the expansion of civil rights thinking to include persons living with disabilities, sexual minorities, racial and ethnic minorities, religious minorities, etc.; civil rights across the life course, particularly civil rights for children and aging populations; civil rights violations such as torture, violence, and discrimination in public health) Research Ethics (for example, research conducted at health departments; unique ethical challenges posed by public health research, including epidemiological and prevention research and research conducted during public health emergencies; the relationship between public health practice and research; ethical issues arising in the oversight of activities at health departments; proposed Federal guidance concerning Institutional Review Boards.) Ethical Issues in Public Health Practice (for example, ethics activities in state and local public health departments; ethical issues in health policy and public health practice; ethical issues in public health practice, such as emergency preparedness, interventions across the life course, disease control and prevention, and environmental health) Case Studies in Public Health Ethics Have you faced an interesting ethical dilemma in your public practice or research? This year, the Ethics Forum is planning a Roundtable case discussion session. Please submit any case(s) you’d like to discuss. If possible, please indicate in your submission which topic best suits your presentation. The Ethics Forum encourages submissions by students and young professionals. In addition to submitting a single abstract proposal, proposed panels of three to five presentations are welcome, as are proposals for joint sessions with other APHA sections, SPIGS, and caucuses. Individuals are invited to contact the program chair (listed below) to discuss potential ideas. |
