The conference theme reflects the growing focus on the intersection between personal relationships impacted by a multitude of health issues. Whether we are looking at how we can develop relationships that are healthy, or how privacy, confidentiality, disclosure, and ethical concerns influence the health of relationships and interactions in the health context, or the way we manage relationships in everyday encounters within the medical and health arena, the crossroads of health and relationships is important. This conference explores the depth and breadth of these issues.

A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS WILL BE CONSIDERED, FOR EXAMPLE:

        Factors Affecting the Health of Relationships
        Marital Status and Relationship Health
        Disclosure and Its Impact on Relationship Health
        Race, Gender, and Relationship Health
        Managing Privacy and Health Relationships
        Effect of Relationships on Health
        Relationships with Health Providers
        Family Relationships and Confidentiality in Healthcare
        Ethical Considerations and Health Relationships
