CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Conference Steering Committee is accepting submissions for presentation at the 2027 Canadian Conference on Tobacco and Nicotine. Our goal is to present an integrated scientific program of research, policy and practice perspectives that encourages participants and presenters to connect, share and learn from each other.

Submissions will examine the current landscape of commercial tobacco and nicotine use; explore emerging evidence and trends; consider the potential implications of emerging alternative nicotine products; and share community-led innovations. The conference will support critical dialogue and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate progress towards the goal of less than 5% tobacco use prevalence by 2035 and less than 5% nicotine use by 2045.

GUIDELINES

Proposals may be submitted in either English or French and will be peer-reviewed according to the language of submission and presentation type.

Simultaneous interpretation will not be provided and French submitters must be comfortable presenting in English.

A presenting author may submit a maximum of two (2) submissions.

Data, other research, and abstracts presented at other conferences CAN be submitted.

All accepted presenters are required to register for a minimum of one day of the conference.

No financial assistance is available for registration, travel, or accommodation fees.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OR POPULATIONS PRESENTATION

CPHA is committed to honouring Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, Métis) traditional knowledge, spirituality, practices and data sovereignty throughout our scientific program.

Submission will be considered to have an Indigenous focus when they involve First Nations, Inuit, Métis Peoples or populations. This includes studies or programs that include:

  • Primary data collection or analysis involving Indigenous Peoples or populations;
  • Secondary data analysis, including systematic reviews and analyses of existing databases when participants are known to be Indigenous;
  • Describes a program, policy or initiative developed for or with Indigenous Peoples, populations or communities;
  • Findings will impact First Nations, Inuit, Métis Peoples or populations; and
  • Includes Indigenous knowledge, perspectives, practices or approaches.


All submitting authors must indicate whether the abstract focuses on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit or Métis) Peoples or populations. If yes, they will be asked to indicate the nature of this focus, how Indigenous Peoples or communities were engaged, and how Indigenous voices and relevant historical or cultural contexts were incorporated.
