The poster session at the 13th Annual James E. Clyburn Health Equity Lecture (April
6 at 10:00 a.m. at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center) will showcase health
disparities research and practice being conducted by faculty, staff and students at
the University of South Carolina. Abstracts submitted by individuals from other academic
institutions and community organizations describing their efforts to eliminate health
disparities are also welcomed. This poster session is an opportunity for individuals
to share their health disparities research and practice with others and address this
year’s theme: “Taking Action to Advance Health Equity: Addressing Poverty and the
Social Determinants of Health”.
Structured abstracts of 300 words or less that describe health disparities research, particularly in areas of the science of
health disparities, social justice, and special populations, may be submitted. Abstracts
previously presented at conferences and/or published in peer-reviewed journals will
also be considered, provided that there are no restrictions by the conference and/or
journal. All abstracts will be reviewed using a peer review process. A poster session
will be held during the reception immediately following the lecture. Due to space
restrictions, a limited number of abstracts (those receiving the highest scores) will
be selected for the poster session. Other selected abstracts will be printed in the
poster booklet with permission from the abstract authors.
Submission and acceptance of an abstract implies that at least one of the authors
will be present during the poster session. Additional information about the poster
session will be emailed to the corresponding authors of selected abstracts prior to
the event.
The abstract submission deadline is Friday, March 6, 2020.
Submit abstracts electronically using the following link: Abstract Submission Form.
