Call for Papers for the Cancer Forum at the American Public Health Association 2014 Annual Meeting and Exposition
November 15-19, 2014 New Orleans, Louisiana
Healthography: How Where You Live Affects Your Health and Well-Being
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, February 12, 2014
The Cancer Forum invites abstracts for oral presentations, symposia, and posters describing original research and innovative intervention programs or policies that address topics including behavioral, genetic, socioeconomic, and environmental risk factors for cancer; prevention and early detection; cancer treatment outcomes; clinical trials; cancer disparities; cancer literacy and cancer communication; and cancer survivorship. Special consideration will be given to research pertaining to this year’s conference theme, “Healthography: How Where You Live Affects Your Health and Well-being.” Potential topics include:
• Advances and issues in cancer screening and new best practices
• Behavioral and policy interventions related to human papillomavirus vaccination among female and male adolescents and young adults for the prevention of cervical, anogenital, and oral cancers
• Cancer prevention including the promotion of age-appropriate cancer screenings, healthy eating and exercise, and smoking prevention/cessation
• Cancer survivorship research among all age groups, particularly as it relates to recurrence, risk reduction, and maintaining health and wellness following a cancer diagnosis
• Childhood, youth, young adult, and adult behaviors that impact the risk of cancer later in life through old age, including tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, excessive sun exposure, infection with the human papillomavirus, excessive alcohol use, etc. and innovative interventions or policies aimed at changing these high-risk behaviors
• Cultural factors in cancer prevention, control, and survivorship (e.g., cultural barriers related to cancer screening and treatment)
• Economic evaluation of cancer prevention and cancer care
• Exploration of the public health impact of rapidly emerging discoveries and technologies in genetics and gene-environment interactions in cancer risk and prevention and the need for public and professional education related to these changes
• Health issues in cancer prevention, control, and survivorship with an emphasis on low- and middle-income countries
• Innovative social media, Web 2.0, and other new technological interventions to promote cancer prevention, screening, treatment, or survivorship
• Innovative strategies to increase recruitment of minority and medically underserved populations to cancer prevention, screening, and treatment clinical trials
• Neighborhood contextual factors (examples: specific zipcodes, GIS data, urban vs. rural environments, food deserts, altitude, American Indian reservations, Appalachia) and community organizing related to cancer risk factors, access, prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship
• Outreach for cancer prevention through community health workers and other professionals
• Patient navigation, peer navigation, and/or healthcare delivery changes/models to improve delivery of and/or promote best practices in cancer screening, treatment, and survivorship services
• Screening for smoking-related cancers including lung, oral, bladder, and others
• Social determinants (conditions in which people are born, live, attend school/work and age) and their impact on the risk of cancer and innovative interventions or policies aimed at improving these conditions
• The interconnectedness of poverty and cancer among women and other vulnerable populations (e.g., LGBT, low-SES, medically ill)
• Translation of clinical and other best practices into health policy and/or the utilization of health policy to advance practices in cancer prevention, control, and survivorship
