Southeastern ECO Conference 2005

October 7-9, 2005
University of South Carolina, Columbia campus

Focus of This Year’s Conference

Presentations at this year’s Southeastern Eco conference will revolve around the theme of Social and Cultural Dimensions of Health. This theme encompasses the role of social, cultural, and environmental influences on physical and psychological well-being. We invite presentations which explore the influence of social, cultural, and environmental factors on health, such as exposure and vulnerability to disease, risk-taking behaviors, health promotion efforts, and access to, availability of, and quality of health care. Health issues may be explored in relation to issues of race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and other dimensions of diversity. This area of focus highlights factors that contribute to health disparities (including both individual and system-level factors), factors that promote healthy development in the face of stress, and ways of reducing health disparities at the individual, family, and community levels.
