Call for Emerging, Hot Topic Abstracts
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION SITE TO OPEN: February 20, 2024
DEADLINE: March 4, 2024
We welcome you to submit an “emerging, hot topic” abstract for an individual poster presentation, an organized paper symposium, an organized team science panel, or a roundtable discussion/scientific dialogue at the SPR 2024 Annual Meeting. Consider submitting if your research, methodology, policy work, or new data represent an emerging, hot topic issue, and especially if it relates to the overall conference theme of Advancing Partnerships and Collaborative Approaches in Prevention Science.
The emerging, hot topic submissions should describe ground-breaking and unique data that would not otherwise have been presented at the conference.
We are especially interested in emerging prevention research related to:
- the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, particularly how the pandemic has impacted health disparities, the role of prevention science research in reducing the negative impact of COVID-19, and how biology and context can inform research related to preventing the negative consequences of COVID-19.
- recent natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis or extreme weather events due to climate change, such as how recent wildfires and flooding have exacerbated health disparities.
Other recent emerging, hot topic issues include (but are not limited to): the impact of structural and systemic racism on health, the role of social inequities on the health of underrepresented minorities, efforts to create a national mobilization to reduce the prevalence of neighborhoods and communities of concentrated disadvantage; interventions and outcomes for immigrants; food safety; outbreaks of infectious diseases; safety issues related to autonomous vehicles; effects of high profile mass shootings; the role of primary prevention in addressing the opioid crisis; influence of changing cannabis laws on prevention-related programs, policies and practices; changing regulations around vaping/e-cigarettes use, type of use, and consequences of these devices; and recent local, state or federal policy changes that impact disparities; maternal mortality.
Please note
-
- The emerging, hot topic abstract deadline is not intended as an extension of the general submission date which has passed.
- Accepted individual poster presentation abstracts will be presented during one of the 3 evening poster sessions.
- Accepted organized paper symposia, organized team science panels, and roundtable discussions/scientific dialogues will be presented as a 90-minute concurrent session.
- Emerging, hot topic abstracts will undergo formal peer review evaluation by the SPR Conference Committee.
