Our third special theme highlights health disparities research to reduce disparities and increase equity through prevention.

Call for Preconference Workshop Proposals (learn more)
The Program Committee of SPR invites proposals for preconference workshops to be held May 28, 2019, the first day of the SPR Annual Meeting. The workshops are primarily pedagogical, with hands-on instruction and specific learning objectives. Past workshops have provided continuing education in innovative quantitative methods; assembled experts to share theoretical perspectives, research findings and real-world implementation experiences that can inform prevention programs; and presented information helpful in advocacy and/or grant writing efforts. These are intended as examples to stimulate creative thinking about workshops. The Program Committee encourages workshop proposals on any topic, as long as the workshop's objective is to enable the audience to gain skills and knowledge that are important to prevention scientists.
Call for "Brown Bag" Special Interest Groups (SIGs) Meetings (learn more)
The SPR Program Planning Committee is offering "Brown Bag" Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and we invite members to convene and chair a SIG. The purpose of the "Brown Bag" SIGs is to facilitate networking opportunities of conference attendees who would like to discuss in greater depth a specific prevention research, policy, or practice topic.
