One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach to public health that recognizes the interconnections between people, animals, plants, and their shared ecosystems. One Health work occurs locally, regionally, nationally, and globally to address the policies, systems, and environments that impact their shared wellbeing. 

We will consider abstracts related to One Health issues. These include but are not limited to: animal-human-ecosystem interactions, zoonoses and vector-borne diseases, food safety, antimicrobial resistance, waste management, agriculture and animal husbandry, ecosystem health, plant health, climate change, integrative and traditional health practices, the human-animal bond, service animals and working animals, access to veterinary care, social determinants of health related to human-animal-environmental factors, One Health in conflicts and disasters (natural and manmade), and other topics related to Veterinary Public Health and Planetary Health. 

This year's theme, "Together We Thrive: Health Across the Lifespan," offers an opportunity to highlight the ways that human-animal-plant-ecosystem interactions are integral to the health of all species and systems.

Submitted abstracts may also be appropriate for planned co-sessions with other APHA Sections and Caucuses (including but not limited to: International Health; Environmental Health; Epidemiology; Injury Control and Preventative Health Services; Integrative, Complementary and Traditional Health Practices; Occupational Health and Safety; Ethics; the Peace Caucus; and more). One Health is inherently interdisciplinary!
