2026 Scientific Meeting
March 29 – April 1, 2026
Omni Hotel in Downtown Austin
Austin, Texas
“Centering Community in Health Behavior Research and Practice"
The 2026 AAHB conference theme underscores the transformative power of lived experience in advancing social change and improving health outcomes. Evidence shows that when we engage with communities and center their experiences, not only are health behaviors positively impacted, but this approach strengthens public health planning, improves access to services, enhances health literacy, and contributes to a wide range of positive health outcomes. Across diverse populations, models of community engagement have demonstrated measurable success, offering promising pathways for inclusive and effective health strategies. By embracing this theme, our conference will explore innovative ways to mobilize community health for action and policy—recognizing the social, economic, and environmental forces that shape disparities, while also illuminating the shared experiences that connect us all.
