1^st International Symposium to Advance TOTAL WORKER HEALTH™: Call for Abstracts Now Open

The NIOSH Total Worker Health™ Program is excited to announce that abstracts are now being accepted for the International Symposium to Advance TOTAL WORKER HEALTH™, which will take place October 6-8, 2014 at the Natcher Conference Center on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, MD.

This symposium will explore research, practices, programs and policies that advance the overall health, safety, and well-being of workers through the integration of health protection and health promotion. This effort seeks to advance the tenets of Total Worker Health. The symposium builds upon successful past meetings of the 2004 NIOSH Steps to a Healthier US Workforce Conference and the 2007 NIOSH WorkLife National Symposium.

We are soliciting proposals for posters, pre- and post-symposium workshops, plenary sessions and two types of concurrent sessions: scientific paper or practice/intervention sessions and symposia sessions. The deadline for abstract submission is March 24, 2014. We anticipate providing notification to all persons selected for a presentation no later than June 1, 2014 to allow adequate time for presentation finalization and travel planning.
