Submit a Digital Poster on CHS

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is an emergent public health challenge that is severely understudied. If you have any information about CHS that you want to share with others during our event, consider submitting an abstract to the 2026 ADAI Symposium describing your idea for a digital poster.
We’ll be projecting the posters onscreen during the Symposium lunch break and will publish them on the ADAI website along with the recordings from the Symposium.
Given the emerging and understudied nature of CHS and the limited literature available, small sample sizes, pilot studies, and early-stage research are highly encouraged. Submissions from clinicians, researchers, public health professionals, and interdisciplinary teams are welcome.
Deadline for abstract submission: August 18, 2026.
Send your abstract with the subject line “Poster submission for ADAI Symposium” to adai@uw.edu.
Acceptance: You will be notified of acceptance by August 29th. In case of acceptance, you must submit a poster as a single PowerPoint slide. Guidelines for slide layout/design can be found here (pdf, opens in new tab).
