AMERSA seeks abstract submissions of recent substance use-related research and education innovations.
Abstracts for the 2025 AMERSA National Conference may be submitted to one of three categories:
- Research – These abstracts report on original research and must include methods, data analyses, results, and conclusions. Broad disciplines are represented, including clinical research, implementation science, and education scholarship.
- Curricula, Quality Improvement, and Program Innovations – These abstracts report on evaluations of education curricula, quality improvement, and/or innovative program initiatives and must include methods, data analyses, results, and conclusions.
- Clinical Case Presentations – These abstracts describe an illustrative case that reinforces specific learning objectives for the treatment of substance use disorders, complications of substance use/substance use disorder, or impact of substance use on clinical care. Clinical Cases should be based on patients for whom at least one of the author(s) had provided direct care during the course of the patient’s treatment.
Oral presentations are clustered into concurrent theme-based 60-90 minute sessions with each abstract presentation 10 minutes in duration followed by an additional 5 minute question/answer period. There will be an oral abstract session scheduled for each day of the conference.
Poster presentations are displayed during a 90-minute evening poster reception with the attendant author(s) available to discuss and present the poster. These will be scheduled Thursday evening, November 13th.
