Abstract Notification — Presenters will be notified via email of abstract status on Monday, June 4, 2018.

Rules and Regulations

• You do not have to be a member to submit an abstract. However, if your abstract is accepted for presentation, the presenting author MUST become an individual APHA member and MUST register for the Annual Meeting by the pre-registration deadline (membership does not apply to Faculty of APHA Learning Institutes or Speakers of invited sessions).
• Abstracts submitted and accepted for the APHA Annual Meeting may not be presented at any other meeting or published prior to Mon. Nov. 6, 2017.
• An author may not present more than three abstracts during an APHA Annual Meeting and each abstract must be different. Violators will be removed from the program.
• It is the policy of the American Public Health Association to hold events (meetings, conferences and professional gatherings) where physical and communication barriers do not exclude people with disabilities from attending and participating. Presentations must be accessible to all including closed captioning of videos.
• Abstracts can be submitted to only one component/group, otherwise all abstracts will be removed and not considered for presentation.
• Presenters whose abstracts were accepted for presentation but subsequently withdrawn two or more times within the last five years may not be considered for inclusion in the program.
