Call for Poster Abstracts

Join your colleagues on for this multi-disciplinary NSSBY. On Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at 5:00 pm, we will host a poster session to highlight the latest research, programs, and activities. The poster session will be part of our Welcome Reception and hors d/oeuvres will be provided.  

Poster submissions must be submitted by November 30, 2024.  Announcements of acceptance will be made by December 15, 2024.  

Posters on research, program evaluations, innovative programs and implementation strategies are welcomed.  Posters can focus on a wide variety of topics related to the sexual behavior of youth, such as:

  • sexual development
  • sex education
  • healthy sexual behavior
  • impact of technology
  • problematic or harmful sexual behavior
  • assessment
  • treatment
  • long-term outcomes

Please Note - Lead presenters whose abstracts are accepted will receive a $75 discount on the 2-Day symposium registration fee, not to be combined with other offers.  This code will be given upon acceptance. NSSBY will not pay any symposium or travel expenses for the poster presenters. Presenters are responsible for their own travel arrangements.

Scholarship Program

Our goal for the scholarship program is to allow those with funding limitations to attend and participate in the NSSBY through registration and/or lodging support and be able to network with colleagues, participate in professional development, and be able to keep youth safe and healthy by effectively identifying, monitoring, preventing, educating, and intervening to address problematic and illegal sexual behavior of youth.

Scholarship recipients are expected to attend the entire symposium.  The NSSBY Scholarship Program reserves the right to redistribute funds if scholarship is declined by recipient.
