APHA's Chiropractic Health Care (CHC) section invites abstract submissions for public health research related to musculoskeletal health. The section encourages abstracts that feature varying perspectives. The CHC recognizes the important contributions of rising professionals in our field and seeks submissions from students and junior scholars.

The highest quality scientific submissions will be selected. Topics related to this year's theme and in all areas related to musculoskeletal health will be considered. When submitting an abstract, please identify it as falling into one of the following categories:

• 2023 APHA Annual Meeting theme - Creating the healthiest nation: Overcoming social and ethical challenges
  
• Access to and quality of health care
