Scientific Program and Abstracts

Online Program
The 2008 Online Program and the Personal Scheduler can be accessed in advance of the meeting, on site, at the message center, as well as after the meeting (via the meetings web site). You will be able to select sessions you plan to attend, print out individual abstracts (and handouts if they have been uploaded by the presenters), and produce an individualized daily schedule. For blind, or visually impaired registrants, screen reading functionality is available on all the computers in the message center. Please ask staff for assistance. Please note: prior to the meeting, room locations are not provided in the Online Program. However, once the registration badges are mailed in late October, room locations will be visible from the Personal Scheduler for registered attendees only.

Final Program
The final printed Program will be distributed at the Program Pick Up Counters on site in the APHA Registration Area at the San Diego Convention Center. This publication will provide final session and event information and locations.

Abstract Information
Abstracts, including learning objectives, CE accreditation, and financial disclosures are available through the online program and following the Annual Meeting. Abstracts are searchable by keyword, phrase or name and can be printed from any computer with an internet connection. If you have a need for a printed version of the abstract volume, please email access@apha.org
 or call (202) 777-2504 in advance of the meeting.

Recorded Sessions: Web access to hundreds of individual session presentations can be purchased by registering for E-ssentialLearning. High speed internet connections is required.

Please note: If requested in advance, arrangements can be made to provide the final program and abstracts on CD ROM. The online program is available in .html format. (Due to the large size of our program, large print, Braille and audio cassette recordings are not available.)
