      Call for Abstracts - Deadline 
      Extended! 
      September 10 - 11, 
      2007
Hyatt Regency
Bethesda, Maryland
      Abstracts must 
      be received by April 30, 2007
      On-line Submission at 
      http://www.worklife2007.com.
      You are invited to 
      submit an abstract for presentation at the WorkLife 2007 National 
      Symposium. The Symposium will provide researchers, policymakers, 
      practitioners, academics, employers, and labor leaders an opportunity to 
      share their experiences with integrated and coordinated health protection 
      and promotion programs. These worksite programs must address health risk 
      by combining attention to both the individual workers and the environments 
      in which they work. The conference planning committee is accepting 
      abstracts on research and design, evaluation, and implementation of such 
      worksite programs. 
      View the preliminary 
      symposium agenda online for more information about each 
session.
      Abstract Guidelines
Participants may 
      present current research; describe effective workplace programs, practices 
      and policies; present approaches to program evaluation; or propose new 
      conceptual frameworks or models. Please direct your presentation to a 
      broad audience of stakeholders: practitioners, educators, policy makers, 
      and researchers of diverse interests and disciplines. Potential topics 
      include: best and promising practices (e.g., case studies: how to 
      initiate, integrate, and evaluate integrated programs); economic analyses 
      and issues; needs of specific employee or employer groups (e.g., mobile 
      workers, concerns of small businesses); research aimed at work life that 
      improves health, well being, and the ability to work; and stimulating and 
      managing organizational change. 
      Your abstract must 
      address the following points, which will be rated in the selection 
      process:
      
        Broad context,
