Many of our PHHS faculty presented research studies or took part in moderating sessions at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA) this past November in New Orleans!  Joining PHHS faculty was student Hannah Murdoch who also presented at the annual meeting.

APHA’s acceptance of our faculty’s work speaks to the high quality of their research. APHA is the world’s oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals. More than 13,000 public health professionals attend the organization’s annual meeting (apha.org).

Here is a listing of our faculty’s APHA articles, by author. Click the links to read the article abstracts!
