  • Obesity prevention
  • Physical Activity, Amount of Exercise, and Fitness
  • Sexual Health

Abstracts must describe actual, not anticipated findings. Please include learner-centered objectives for oral sessions to qualify for continuing education credit approval. Peer reviewers will assess the suitability of abstracts for presentation based on the following criteria:

- Significance

Currently-enrolled public health students are especially encouraged to submit abstracts of research work performed to satisfy academic coursework or requirements. Be sure to identify your academic program and institution. SHES will present an award for the best student research abstract.
