DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION

You are invited to share your expertise and ideas as a concurrent session or poster presenter. The International Conference on Perinatal and Infant Death will be a major educational and networking event that brings together SUID, SIDS and other interdisciplinary professionals to present innovative programs in prevention, research clinical expertise, and bereavement. The planning committee, jointly comprised of both ASIP and PLIDA as sponsoring organizations, is seeking a range of submissions that reflect the four key areas of the conference theme: prevention, advocacy, research, and support.
This four day conference, which includes one day of pre-conference sessions followed by three days of plenary, concurrent, and networking sessions, is expected to draw more than 350 attendees. This Call for Abstracts invites you to share your successes, experiences, and research with a varied, interdisciplinary audience.
One or more conference themes (Prevention, Advocacy, Research, Support) must be specifically addressed in your abstract.
Concurrent Session Presentations:
All concurrent sessions will be 75 minutes in length. They will be scheduled on either Friday, November 5 or Saturday, November 6, 2010; we are unable to accommodate specific requests for presentation scheduling so presenters must be available to attend on either date. Concurrent session format can be lecture, experiential, demonstrative, or discussion panel but must be specified in the abstract submission.
Areas of Emphasis: Abstracts are encouraged on the following topics:
- Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and SIDS
- Integration of evidence-based practices
- Stillbirth and neonatal death
- Cultural competence
- Bereavement care models
- Perinatal bereavement
- Ethical issues and decision-making

Poster Presentations:
Poster presentations are designed for those projects and interests that can be effectively displayed in a visual format aided by appropriate handouts and personal interaction with the presenter. Presenters are expected to be at their posters and available for questions during specified times. Posters will be displayed during a highlighted poster networking session and reception on Friday, November 5, 2010.
Areas of Emphasis: Poster topics that relate to the conference theme and goals, and that address research and innovative programs will be selected; please specify the conference theme which best corresponds to your poster.
