Call for Presenters:
The Planning Committee for the TERROS 6th Annual Cesar Chavez Behavioral
Health Conference invites you and your colleagues to submit a proposal for one
of our concurrent sessions.

Presentation Format:
We are seeking proposals for concurrent sessions to be presented on Friday
March 26, 2010 at the address noted above. A concurrent session is usually 90
– 120 minutes, which includes time for questions and answers. Due to the
timeframe, applicants are encouraged to narrowly define their presentation to
provide more depth on the proposed topic.

Criteria for Abstract Selection:
Presentations build the knowledge or practices with ethnic and minority
populations of the southwest and when possible, promote the use and adoption
of evidence-based and/or best practices in substance abuse treatment or issues
regarding behavioral health disparities:

      Literature reviews on specific behavioral health disparities by disability
       (Drug, ETOH, HIV, Mental Health) and/or population
      Descriptive research on the utilization of concepts or practices with ethnic
       and minority populations
      Review of outcome data from intervention with persons in recovery
      Cultural specific practice with ethnic and or other minority populations
      Adaptation of best practices targeting ethnic and or other minority
       populations

Audience Profile:
Your presentation will be before a group of treatment professionals and policy
makers working at all levels of their organizations. Participants who turned in
their evaluations at last year’s conference were primarily women (72%), had a
bachelors or masters degree (57% with masters); and were primarily Anglo
(56%) and 52% were licensed professionals.
