Abstracts submitted should focus on any aspect of tobacco and child health, including but not limited to effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy, secondhand smoke exposure and child health, teenage initiation and smoking, media and smoking, emerging tobacco products, intervening with parental smokers during the pediatric office visit, tobacco dependency treatment, quality improvement projects, and tobacco control policy.

Abstracts will be accepted for poster presentations only. The top 2 abstracts chosen by the Abstract Review Committee may be given the opportunity to discuss their abstracts in a brief oral presentation.

Two types of abstracts are encouraged:

1. program abstracts describing ongoing or completed projects focusing any aspect of tobacco control and
2. research abstracts presenting original research findings. Special consideration will be given to abstracts submitted and presented by physicians in training at any level.

Submission will not preclude future submission for journal publication, nor does prior publication nor prior presentation or acceptance at another medical or scientific meeting disqualify submission to this section. Complete the fields regarding previous submission even though this will not exclude the paper from consideration. Priority may be given to papers not previously published or presented.

Note that authors who attend the NCE must register and pay for the meeting (as well as any additional travel and housing expenses). The Section does not have funds to cover these costs for authors of abstracts.

Presenters of accepted abstracts should notify Judith Groner (Judith.groner@nationwidechildrens.org) as soon as possible if they must cancel their presentation.
