APHA 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo: A Call for Abstracts

APHA 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo

The American Public Health Association (APHA) has announced the call for abstracts for its 2024 Annual Meeting and Expo, a highly anticipated event in the public health sphere. The meeting is scheduled to run from October 27-30 in Minneapolis, MN. The deadline for abstract submissions is on the horizon—March 29 at 11:59 P.M. (PDT). You can find more details on the event's official website.

Building Trust in Public Health and Science

The theme for the 2024 meeting is 'Building Trust in Public Health and Science.' This topic is of utmost importance in our modern world, where misinformation is rampant and public trust in science and health institutions has been shaken. APHA encourages submissions related to this theme, inviting innovative approaches and effective interventions that can help reinstate trust in public health and science.

Contribution from the APLPH Caucus

The Academic-Practice Linkages in Public Health (APLPH) Caucus is also inviting abstract submissions. The Caucus provides a forum to explore and discuss novel approaches that can help bridge the gap between academic and practice. This initiative supports the promotion of practice, education, and applied research in public health.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts for both oral and poster presentations are accepted. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts discussing current and emerging public health issues. The meeting will be held in-person, and selected presenters will be required to become members of APHA, pay for registration, attend the meeting in-person, and abide by any COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

Importance of Public Health Events

Public Health events like the APHA Annual Meeting and Expo are crucial platforms for professionals to share knowledge, discuss pressing issues, and propose innovative solutions. They highlight the vital role of public health in improving quality of life, extending life expectancy, reducing human suffering, and saving resources. They also provide an opportunity for various organizations, like Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, National Association of County and City Health Officials, University of Tübingen, Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center, and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to share their research and insights.
