The 2021 American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting, held October 24-27, will bring together thousands of students, professionals, and leaders in the public health community in a hybrid virtual/in-person event.
Driven by the theme, “Creating the Healthiest Nation: Strengthening Social Connectedness,” this year’s conference will look to demonstrate how public health practices and policies can connect and strengthen communities, families, and individuals to counter the isolation forced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
RTI researchers will be presenting during a number of sessions and poster sessions throughout the event. During the conference, don't forget to stop by virtual booth #106 to see how RTI is connecting the dots across today’s biggest public health research.
