The Midwest Conference on Pediatric Psychology will feature nationally recognized speakers in the areas of pediatric and clinical child psychology. The conference is planned around a developmental systems perspective on pediatric psychology. It will highlight innovative research in each of the various developmental systems (family, peers, schools, culture, etc.) and identify how this research informs clinical practice.
The conference is designed for psychologists, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, and other professionals involved in children's health care. All interested health care providers and researchers are invited to attend.
You are invited to submit abstracts for presentation during the plenary and poster sessions at the Midwest Conference on Pediatric Psychology in Kansas City, Missouri on April 2–4, 2009.
This conference is intended to be a forum for research presentations that help translate science into clinical practice, and for presentations on service delivery that identify empirical bases and research needs.
The conference will include plenary addresses, as well as paper and poster presentations on topics in pediatric psychology, broadly defined. The conference is designed around an ecological systems approach to pediatric psychology, with plenary and paper sessions covering family, peer, school/community, cultural, and technological influences on children’s health, health care needs, and health care delivery. Empirically-based papers that address health-related quality of life, and those that address peer and family influences on child health are particularly encouraged. For poster presentations, we will consider any topic within the realm of clinical child, pediatric, school, and family psychology. Recognized experts on the emphasized topics will chair the paper sessions and provide an overview presentation for each topic. Additional plenary presentations will include invited speakers on topics of particular significance to practice and science.
Conference participants are invited to submit 350–500 word abstracts for paper and poster presentations.
An abstract should include:
Indicate whether the submission is for consideration as a paper, a poster, or either type of presentation. Authors should use the following headings when preparing abstracts: Purpose/Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
Submission of an abstract indicates that the author will attend the conference and pay the registration fee if the abstract is accepted for presentation.
