APA 2026, August 6-8, Washington, DC

Join Division 38 at APA 2026!

The Division 38 Society for Health Psychology invited proposals for symposia, poster presentations, and skill-building sessions on topics across the spectrum of health psychology. The Presidential theme is: Translational Science for All – Improving everyday access to Best Evidence Science Translation (BEST). Submissions that fostered inclusive engagement were highly encouraged. Inclusive engagement refers to programming that is of interest to individuals across all identities, backgrounds, career stages, and domains of psychology (research, training, practice, advocacy).
