The 2020 APPAM Virtual International Conference will be held on Thursday, July 23 and Friday, July 24 and it will take place online due to COVID-19. The conference, co-hosted by American University and University of Toronto, will host over 50 sessions, one plenary, and two poster networking receptions – all accessible from the comforts of home via Zoom Webinar! Session times are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and Zoom links will be posted in the Online Program session description in early July. Registration is required for all participants and attendees. Registrants will receive the Zoom password a few days before the conference in order to access to both the content live and the on-demand recordings that can be viewed post-conference.
Healthy public policy, or the consideration of population health and health equity in all areas of policy, is vital to the achievement of sustainable and healthy communities. Policies affecting food systems, housing, education, immigration, transportation, employment and social assistance impact the social determinants of health and can have intended and unintended impacts on health and equity. This conference will showcase research examining how programs and policies affect health-related behaviors and outcomes, as well as inquiry into the development and analysis of healthy public policy. Policies and programs studied may have the objective of directly improving health or may affect health indirectly.
When accessing paper abstracts, sometimes the abstracts are presented as Word documents and sometimes they are presented as simple text. It depends on how the information was submitted by the organizer.
