7th International Conference on Urban Health

Presentation Guidelines

The Scientific Organizing Committee for the 7^th International Conference on Urban Health - Knowledge Integration: Successful Intervention in Urban Health invites the submission of abstracts that address the overall conference theme and tracks/sub-themes.

We will have two streams of abstract submissions (scientific and program/policy-based), which will be reviewed for presentation in one of two formats and submitters should indicate their preference when submitting the abstract:

Oral Presentation: Oral Presentations will take place in the concurrent sessions October 29^th – October 31^st. Oral Presentations will be assigned in 10-minute time slots.

Poster Presentation: Posters will be displayed over 3 days commencing at the Welcome Reception. Individual poster presentation times will be determined after abstract vetting has concluded.

The format for scientific or research abstracts includes the following headers: Background – why you undertook the study and the objective; Methods – who, what and how did you study; Results – what are your main results; Conclusions – key findings, implications

The format for issue/program-based abstracts includes the following headers: Issues – a summary of the issue(s) addresses by the abstract; Description – a description of the research, project, experience, service and/or advocacy; Lessons learned – conclusions and implications of the project; Next steps – possible next steps for implementation or further research.

Note: The assignment of presentation type is at the discretion of the Scientific Organizing Committee and will be confirmed upon acceptance. Full presentation guidelines will be sent with acceptance notices.

*All submitting authors will have 5 business days to confirm their attendance at the conference once the acceptances have been sent.

The Scientific Organizing Committee of ICUH 2008 will review the abstracts to assess the quality, contribution and clarity of the content. Submission of an abstract implies permission to publish that abstract. You will be notified of the results of this review by email in the first two weeks of July (July 1 – 15, 2008).
