Publishing research findings in peer-reviewed journals takes time, sometimes even up to several years. To disseminate findings in a timely manner, abstracts can be submitted to professional conferences or meetings for presentation. Abstracts are strictly reviewed for validity and relevance before being accepted. Please see below for a selected list of abstracts from AAFH member organizations that were previously presented at local, national, and international conferences.
