The purposes of the annual meeting are (1) to establish a broad scientific forum for the exchange of concepts, methods, and results in prevention science from diverse areas of public health; (2) to create opportunities for the training of early career, minority, and established prevention scientists; and (3) to enhance the implementation and dissemination of prevention research-based knowledge through communication and exchange with scientific, policy making, and lay public leaders
Support was given for the 2008 Annual Meeting of the Society for Prevention Research.
