>The Health Communication Working Group (HCWG) of the American Public Health
>Association's (APHA) Public Health Education and Health Promotion (PHEHP)
>section is encouraging the submission of health communication abstracts for
>the 2000 APHA Annual Meeting, Eliminating Health Disparities, November 12-16
>in Boston, MA.
>
>Formed in 1997, the HCWG is comprised of nearly 300 public health and health
>communication practitioners including academicians, social marketers, public
>relations/public affairs specialists, health educators, and others. A 1998
>survey of members indicated that they are interested in sessions addressing
>the following topics: (1) effective communication planning and
>implementation; (2) the use of new technologies; (3) research strategies;
>(4) risk communication; (5) theory application in communication program
>planning; (6) interpersonal communication; and (7) reaching under-served
>populations and/or minority populations. Papers in these areas are highly
>encouraged, particularly as they relate to the conference theme of
>eliminating health disparities. 
>
>All abstracts for the 2000 meeting must be submitted by FEBRUARY 5th, online
>at <http://apha.confex.com/>http://apha.confex.com. To submit an
abstract in
health communication
>to the HCWG, go to the abstract submission site, select to submit to the
>PHEHP section and then follow the directions accordingly. When you get to
>the "Select Topic" screen, select "Health Communications" to ensure that the
>Working Group will be notified about your abstract. Please be aware that
>the PHEHP section, unlike most sections, requires a detailed description of
>papers (less than 2000 words) in addition to the abstract. General
>instructions for APHA abstracts can be found at
><http://apha.confex.com/apha/128am/intro.html>http://apha.confex.com/apha/
128am/intro.html, while specific instructions on
>the electronic submission process for PHEHP papers can be found at
><http://apha.confex.com/apha/128am/phehp/>http://apha.confex.com/apha/128a
m/phehp/ papers/index.cgi. 
>
>As the largest section within APHA, PHEHP receives a very large number of
>submissions. In light of this, health communication authors are also
>encouraged to submit to other sections. Twenty APHA sections explicitly
>mention facets of health communication in their calls for abstracts, while
>another seventeen have implied health comm areas of interest. Please note,
>the submission date for other sections may be earlier than February 5th. If
>your paper is accepted by another section, but you want recognition of it as
>a health communication paper, please contact Judith McDivitt at zlf2@cdc.gov
>or (770) 488-5555 regarding co-sponsorship of your accepted paper or
>session by PHEHP. 
>
>This year's electronic submission site is significantly better than last
>year's and includes many new health communication key words. If you
>encounter problems during the abstract submission process, there is a help
>line available at (401) 334-0220. 
>
>We look forward to seeing your abstracts and having a greater health
>communication presence at APHA.
