The Conference Planning Committee encourages you to submit abstracts that address specific issues, approaches or strategies that contribute to diabetes prevention and control. Priority preference will be given to abstracts that describe crosscutting, programmatic activities addressing public health responses to diabetes.
Communication, Media, and Technology
Abstracts demonstrate effective approaches to raise awareness, improve health literacy, and reach priority populations as they relate to diabetes.
Community Intervention
Abstracts describe community interventions focusing on behaviors and the environmental factors that influence and affect the rates of those behaviors. An intervention may consist of any combination of new programs, changes in policy, or implementation of alternative practices.
Disparities
Abstracts demonstrate strategies and projects to improve diabetes-related health disparities among racial and ethnic minority and rural populations.
Epidemiology--Surveillance and Research
Abstracts show strategies for the development and implementation of surveillance data, research studies, and describe the health impact of diabetes.
Evaluation
Abstracts show examples of program evaluation using quantitative and qualitative data describing interventions and strategies (e.g., annual A1c tests) among people with diabetes.
Partnership/Collaboration
Abstracts describe the development, maintenance and evaluation of partnerships and collaborations. Examples of what constitutes an effective partnership and/or collaborative effort are given. The achievements, challenges, and lessons learned concerning partnering and/or collaborating are discussed.
Policy and Legislation
Abstracts describe policies developed and implemented to prevent and control diabetes or improve the lives of people living with diabetes.
Primary Prevention
Abstracts focus on activities which target those at high risk for developing diabetes.
Public Health System Improvement
Abstracts show examples of patient and provider practices and policies which improve the quality of diabetes care and treatment.
