Public Health Education and Health Promotion

 Submit Abstract
This section invites papers, posters and sessions that address current and relevant health education themes, along with this year’s APHA theme, "Public Health Without Borders." Of particular interest are papers related to the following:
  • Child and Adolescent Health
  • Community Mobilization
  • Diversity, Disparity and Inclusivity
  • Environmental Health
  • Health Communication
  • Health Education Advocacy
  • Human Rights and Ethical Issues in Health Education
  • Innovative, Technology-Based Approaches to Health Education
  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Obesity Prevention
  • Physical Activity
  • Politics, Policy, and Public Health
  • Public Health Without Borders
  • Sexual and Reproductive Health
  • Topical Issues: e.g., tobacco, alcohol, depression, HIV/AIDS, violence, nutrition, and injury prevention
  • Worksite Health
Individual abstract submissions must include at least two learning objectives. Learning objectives are needed as a standing APHA requirement and consideration for CHES contact hours. Incomplete abstracts will not be reviewed.

Authors who wish to have multiple abstracts considered as one session MUST take the following steps:
  1. submit each abstract individually through the online system,

  2. note the assigned abstract number for each paper,

  3. send an email to JLCremeens@bama.ua.edu with the title of your session, numbers for each of the abstracts and any other relevant information.

All abstracts will be considered as individual submissions. Consideration for multiple abstracts to be one session will occur after individual review of abstracts. Please note that in order to provide as full a program as possible, PHEHP does NOT generally accept full sessions related to a single project.
