The Gerontological Health Section (GHS) welcomes abstracts on all topics related to health and aging for the annual APHA meeting in Washington, DC. Submissions related to the 2007 Annual Meeting theme of "Politics, Policy, and Public Health" are encouraged. Additional areas of interest for sessions include:
We also invite submissions for session proposals (90 minutes in length). There will only be a few open timeslots available for consideration as a session. Session proposals are more likely to be accepted if they are submitted along with each individual presentation abstract. This complete package gives the reviewers more substance from which to judge the overall merits of the proposal. These special submissions should contain: 1. An overall session abstract, which includes a rationale for the session, the proposed paper titles, author(s), order of presentation, and length of time for each person; 2. Clearly label the overall session abstract as SESSION ABSTRACT - "your proposed session title" (you fill in the talicized part) on the electronic submission page form when entering your proposal; this can be edited later; 3. The proposed moderator and discussant (if applicable); 4. Be sure that each individual proposed presentation submits a separate abstract under the same restricted "category" (session title), otherwise they may become lost in the shuffle; 5. Put contact information (phone and e-mail) for person in charge of session directly on the overall session abstract so we can contact you easily; and 6. Indicate whether or not you would like to have the individual abstracts considered for presentation in other sessions, if your proposed session is not accepted. Please state, "YES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ABSTRACTS CONSIDERED SEPARATELY" or "NO, I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THESE ABSTRACTS CONSIDERED SEPARATELY". Note: Abstract reviewers will evaluate whether the following criteria are addressed: Significance of the Problem to Gerontology Innovativeness of ideas, methods and or approach Methodological Rigor of Methods and Approach (analytical design for research, systematic approach for practice and or policy) Presentation of Findings Implications identified for future research, practice, and or policy Clarity of Writing Authors should also indicate in their email whether they wish their abstract to be considered for presentation in other sessions in the event that the proposed session as a whole cannot be accommodated. If you would like to be considered for one of the following awards, please indicate which one on your submission form. The following are the awards If you wish your abstract to be considered for an award (except for the program innovation award) please indicate so on the abstract submission form. For submission for the program innovation award, please contact llstorms@ucla.edu. Each abstract can be considered only for one award.
