Understanding Abstract Submission Process

Abstract ID and Password

  • When you submit an abstract, an e-mail message will be sent to you with your abstract ID and password.
  • Your ID and password will also be displayed on the screen during the submission process. Be sure to keep a record of these numbers.
  • You may share your abstract ID number and password with colleagues allowing them to work on the abstract.

Once you begin your abstract you may interrupt the submission process at any time, and you can resume later.

  • You can submit part of your abstract and return several hours or even days later to resume or alter a submission.
  • To log back into your submission use the URL in one of the automatic confirmation emails that you received while submitting various steps.

While you are submitting an abstract, a program organizer or staff person can see your work to provide assistance if you encounter a problem or have questions. No one else will have access to your presentation.

Instructions for submitting an abstract

Step 1 - Topic

  • Select a topic from the call for papers of your Section/SPIG/Caucus/Forum.

Step 2 - Title

    Example: Access to health information in underserved communities in rural Mississippi: A web-based experiment
  • Enter the submitter's e-mail address where emails should be sent regarding the submission.
  • Tell us your preferred method of presentation. Session organizers will do their best to match your preferred presentation format but it cannot be guaranteed.
  • Learning objectives must be described and be from the learner's perspective. Please use one of the examples of measurable action words provided on the submission form. Learning objectives should not be included in the abstract text word count.

Continuing Education Requirements

As an organization committed to providing quality continuing education (CE) activities to its membership and meeting registrants, APHA must adhere to the requirements of various accrediting bodies and professional organizations with which it collaborates. APHA has made CE credits/contact hours available in a variety of professional disciplines. Each discipline has its own unique requirements of educational activities, and of the organizations that provide them. Because APHA strives to make as many of its educational activities as possible eligible for CE, it is essential that the presenters (authors, faculty, etc) meet all CE requirements and follow discipline-specific regulations.
