Delta Omega



OPHS Students!

The Hawai‘i Chapter of Delta Omega invites you to

submit an abstract for the National Delta Omega Poster display,

which will coincide with the 2020 Annual Meeting

of the American Public Health Association (APHA).

What is Delta Omega?

Founded in 1924, Delta Omega is the Honorary Society for Public Health (). It recognizes excellence in academic achievement, devotion to public health principles, and outstanding service in public health. There are currently 117 Delta Omega Chapters, including our Gamma Chapter at the University of Hawai‛i at Mānoa, Office of Public Health Studies.

Delta Omega Poster Competition

Each year, Delta Omega sponsors a competitive student poster session during the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association (APHA). The poster session showcases excellent scholarship and research of students attending CEPH-accredited schools and programs of public health. This year, APHA will take place from October 24th through 28th in San Francisco, California ().

Selection Process

Each Delta Omega Chapter is able to submit up to three (two graduate and one undergraduate) outstanding student abstracts for this national competition. Delta Omega’s National Review Committee will select 29 posters to be displayed at APHA. OPHS students whose work is selected by the National Review Committee will:

• Present during the poster session which will be held during APHA.

• Be recognized during the Delta Omega Social Hour during APHA.

• Receive a $350 cash prize, which the OPHS will match, for a total of $700.

• Have their abstracts published on the Delta Omega National Webpage.

Hawaii’s Delta Omega Chapter will assemble a committee to review all submissions, and select the three abstracts that will be submitted for national consideration. Criteria for abstract review will include:

• Evidence of student work

• Clarity

• Relevance to public health

• Potential impact

• Novel (e.g. original, innovative)

• Use of sound methodology

Abstract Submission Guidelines

All abstracts must be submitted via the attached form. Submit forms and/or inquiries via email to Dr. Jeanelle Sugimoto-Matsuda at jsugimot@hawaii.edu. Please include “Delta Omega Poster Competition” in the subject of your email. The submission deadline is Friday, March 20, 2020 (5:00 p.m.).

o Students who are selected as finalists by the National Review Committee are expected to present their work at APHA. However, acceptance of an abstract does not imply a financial commitment for student travel or conference costs to APHA. Students who are selected for the national poster presentation will receive a $350 cash prize from Delta Omega, which OPHS will match, for a total of $700. Otherwise, students will be encouraged to apply for travel scholarship opportunities (e.g., Elmer J. Anderson travel award, ASUH/GSO, etc.).

o Abstracts that have already been submitted to other APHA sessions (poster or oral) will not be accepted.
