Health Law Forum

Submit Abstract

Health Law Forum sessions provide an opportunity for you to present your research and analysis of health law and human rights to APHA members. Presentations may focus on original research, the implications of recent US or international court rulings, treaties, legislation or regulations, as well as proposals for changes in domestic and international law. The topics listed below are intended as general categories for submission of abstracts. The final focus (and titles) of the panel sessions for the conference will depend on the abstracts that are received. With that in mind, please submit your abstract under the topic that is most relevant. The 2007 APHA conference theme is "Politics, Policy & Public Health." Abstracts must be received by February 12th, 2007.
  • Health Insurance & Access to Care
  • Human Rights
  • Initiatives to Improve Quality of Care & Health Outcomes
  • Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
  • Public Health Powers
  • Reproductive Rights
  • Students & Emerging Scholars
