Roundtable
The goal of this roundtable is to advance the uptake of APHA’s 2009 policy “The Role of Public Health Practitioners, Academics, and Advocates in Relation to Armed Conflict and War" within and beyond APHA. This year's roundtable follows-up on the Peace Caucus’ roundtables at the 2010, 2011 and 2012 annual meetings. Session leaders will facilitate small group discussion with the goal of exploring opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration to broadly leverage the benefits of war prevention across a wide range of public health issues and priorities. This year's roundtable will build on and advance these and other previous efforts through small group discussion of specific areas of action. * Table 1.
