Session Description
All posters for the AUCD Conference will be presented throughout Monday and Tuesday (this is new in 2018) in a series of Poster Symposia that run at the same time as concurrent sessions.

Posters will be displayed on large boards and have a table underneath for accompanying materials. The session will be introduced by a moderator, poster authors will be asked to provide a very brief introduction of their poster, and then attendees will be free to move about the room to speak with poster presenters directly for the remainder of the session. Attendees are also welcome to move between symposia rooms and view posters on other topics.

Prenatal screening does not exist in a cultural vacuum. People with genetic conditions have been historically stigmatized and an institutional bias is embedded in prenatal screening�influenced by a medical model of disability, a history of eugenics, a funding power imbalance, and culture wars about reproductive and disability rights. This bias must be addressed in order to give families balanced and accurate information upon initial diagnosis.

Social Marketing Interventions to Primary Care Physicians to Decrease Health Disparities for Patients with a Disability. A Scoping Review.

Elizabeth Perkins, PhD, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, United States, FL - Florida Center for Inclusive Communities, UCEDD;
Social Marketing which draws from behavioral theory, persuasion psychology, and marketing science, can play a significant role in changing attitudes of primary care providers towards people with disabilities. Because the attitudes of providers remain a significant deterrent to good quality care, social marketing can identify causal factors and create tailored behavior change interventions to primary care providers, to increase health equity for patients with a disability.
