Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior Call for Abstracts

Oct. 11, 2012 - PRLog -- The Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) invites you to submit abstracts for poster presentations at the 2013 Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon, August 9-12, 2013.  

With the official name change in 2011 from SNE to SNEB, we are particularly interested in abstracts about research, and/or programs that relate to behavior change and food choice, regardless of whether or not the desired behavior occurred.  However, abstracts are welcome in any area of nutrition education, especially those that incorporate the conference theme:  Moving from Good to Great!

Abstracts must be no more than 250 words and must follow the specific guidelines based on the type of abstract: Research or Program. These guidelines can be accessed athttp://www.sneb.org/events/abstracts.html.

Presentation Formats
Poster presentations allow presenters to discuss their research with interested colleagues over a period of 2 hours in an informal setting.

Submission Process
Use the online submission form after November 1 (http://www.sneb.org/events/abstracts.html) to submit your abstract by Tuesday, January 22, 2013.  A $25 fee will be charged for each abstract submission.  

All abstracts will be blinded and then peer reviewed according to specific criteria. More information about the review criteria is online at http://www.sneb.org/events/
abstracts.html. Authors will receive feedback based on a standardized evaluation form if their submission is rejected.  All accepted abstracts will be published in a supplemental issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior for the Annual Conference.
