• Abstracts submitted to the Section on Section on Child Death Review & Prevention should focus on child death review and/or infant mortality review as it relates to injury prevention, data collection, child abuse prevention, etc. These can include a variety of settings including in-office, community and state-based activities.

• Special consideration will be given to those abstracts submitted by physicians in training at any level
• Abstracts will be accepted for Poster Presentations only.
