All presenters of accepted sessions must be, or become, members of APHA and must be registered by the August 27 early-bird deadline. Intersectional Environmental Justice and Occupational Justice Track PHEHP is participating in a special intersectional environmental justice and occupational justice track. Abstracts are to be submitted using the "Individual Abstract Submission Procedures," but will be evaluated by an ad-hoc intersectional review team. This intersectional track seeks abstracts on research, policy, programs, and practices that speak to environmental and occupational justice issues from a public health perspective, especially those highlighting collaborative partnerships, capacity-building, research translation into practice and policy, and innovative programs and models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, Climate Change and Social Justice: What is The Role of Public Health?; Green Jobs (e.g. Healthy Housing, Impact on Occupational and Children's Health, and local and global Implications for Environmental, Occupational, and Social Justice); Community Engagement (e.g. The Role of Social and Civic Organizations in Achieving Environmental and Occupational Justice and Improving Public Health; New Community-Labor Alliances to Address Disparities; Using Community-Based Participation for Interventions, Solutions, and New Policies to address Food Security & Safety, Malnutrition, and Sanitation); International Health: Environmental Justice, Labor, and Opportunities for Social Change; Risk Communication, Health Messaging, and Capacity Building; Global Movement of Goods and Workers: Environmental and Occupational Health Impacts; and, Transportation, Smart Growth, and Social Justice. Measureable Learning Objectives Learning objectives must clearly identify the intended outcomes participants will be able to demonstrate as a result of attending/participating in your presentation. Verbs that cannot be clearly demonstrated (understand, learn, etc.) do not meet this criterion. Examples of demonstrable verbs include explain, demonstrate, analyze, formulate, discuss, compare, differentiate, describe, name, assess, evaluate, identify, design, define and list. Each learning objective should be listed separately and numbered sequentially. Compound learning objectives are not permitted. For more information, please see: http://apha.confex.com/apha/learningobjectives.htm Continuing Education Credit APHA values the ability to provide continuing education credit to physicians, nurses and health educators at its annual meeting. Please complete all required information when submitting an abstract so members can claim credit for attending your session. These credits are necessary for members to keep their licenses and credentials. As such, all continuing education learning content must be of sound science or professional practice and serve to maintain, develop or increase the knowledge, skills and professional competence of the health professional. Learning content should be evidence-based if available. For a session to be eligible for Continuing Education Credit, each presenter in that session must provide: Example of Acceptable Qualification Statement: I am qualified to present because I oversee programs such as disease prevention, environmental and consumer safety and substance abuse prevention and treatment programs.
