The hottest public health event of the year is ramping up: Abstract submissions for APHA’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Expo open Jan. 4.

To be held Oct. 23-27, APHA 2021 will focus on “Creating the Healthiest Nation: Strengthening Social Connectedness.” Presenters are encouraged to share information related to the theme, but abstract submissions are welcome on all areas of public health.

“With isolation and political division playing such major roles in 2020, exploring the connection between social support and health is very timely,” Donna Wright, APHA’s manager of scientific session development, told The Nation’s Health. “We look forward to sharing scientific insights on the topic.”

Program planners from APHA’s Sections, Special Primary Interest Groups, Student Assembly, Forums and Caucuses will select the presentations that will be offered during the meeting’s scientific sessions.

Thousands of abstracts for posters and research papers are submitted for each Annual Meeting. The abstract submission deadline is March 21. Submissions, which are welcome for both oral and poster sessions, are limited to 250 words and learning objectives are required.

Anyone can submit an abstract, but presenters must become APHA members and register for the Annual Meeting if their abstracts are accepted. Abstracts are accepted through the online submission form. Presenters will be notified by email in June if their abstract has been accepted.
