CALL FOR REVIEWERS
Deadline: Friday, January 31, 2014
 
The Community-Based Public Health (CBPH) Caucus is looking for peer reviewers (community and academic) to review abstracts for the 2014 American Public Health Association Annual Meeting. The theme of the 2014 meeting is Healthography: How Where You Live Affects Your Health and Well-being. Abstract reviews will take place in late February through early March. If you are interested in being a reviewer, please complete the reviewer submission form by January 31, 2014. 
 

Abstract Review Process: Abstracts are peer-reviewed by both community and academic reviewers. They will be considered for oral, poster or roundtable presentation. Abstracts are evaluated for their quality and the degree to which their content is consistent with the principles of the Community-Based Public Health Caucus and the 2014 APHA Meeting theme.

 

Please note that all reviewers for the CBPH Caucus will be provided with an abstract review guide and have the opportunity to participate in a webinar about the review process.
