2023 Student Paper Contest [PDF – 2 MB]
The Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) Student Paper Contest continues to be a well-received annual scientific writing opportunity for students and their faculty mentors around the world. PCD celebrates all students who decide to submit a paper for consideration regardless of whether it is accepted for publication or not. We believe students who participate gain valuable experience of the publication process that will contribute to their future career success. It gives students the opportunity to serve as a corresponding and first author, engage in the peer-review process, and interact with a well-respected journal. Faculty mentors also play a tremendous role in helping to shape the education and training of students, and PCD would like to acknowledge the faculty members who provided many hours of support to their students.
This year’s collection of student papers addresses a range of topics that include views about COVID-19 racial disparities in morbidity and mortality among residents; effects of shared decision-making on emergency department use among people with high blood pressure; the contribution of physical activity disparities to inequitable health-related quality of life among Blacks with knee osteoarthritis; dynamic patterns and modeling of COVID-19 early transmission; barriers and preferences of physical activity in a national sample of rural men; the association between self-reported lack of access to a neighborhood park and high blood pressure; and the impact of geography and rurality in perceptions of health status in the United States.
PCD is pleased to announce winners in the master’s and doctoral degree categories. PCD congratulates Camille Kroll in the master’s degree category for her paper, “An Exploratory Qualitative Analysis of Explanations for COVID-19–Related Racial Disparities Among St. Louis Residents: ‘I Don’t Really Pay Attention to the Racial Stuff Very Much’”; and R. Aver Yakubu in the doctoral degree category for the paper, “Shared Decision-Making and Emergency Department Use Among People With High Blood Pressure.” Congratulations to this year’s winners! It is important to point out that the paper led by Camille Kroll is the first qualitative research paper selected as a winner in any category. There were no winners identified for selection in the high school, undergraduate, or postdoctoral categories.
PCD looks forward to receiving student papers in response to its 2024 Student Paper Contest call for papers. For more information on eligibility requirements, tips on submitting a quality paper, and the journal manuscript review process, visit Announcements | Preventing Chronic Disease | CDC. Interested student authors are also encouraged to visit the Author’s Corner section of PCD’s website for important information on what to avoid when developing the manuscript, tables, and figures. Manuscripts must be received electronically no later than 5:00 PM EST on Monday, March 25, 2024.
