Call for abstracts

Please, note that the committee responsible for selecting abstracts will rate your study according with the templates below.

The abstract should not exceed 350 words and be divided into five sections (each section should be bolded and underlined in your abstract):

• Background: One phrase to contextualize and provide a rationale for your study.
• Objectives: One phrase to clearly state the objective(s) of your study.
• Methods: Clearly indicate study design (eg, qualitative study using focus group, or 6-month RCT, or 10-year longitudinal cohort study, etc) and setting (eg, nursing homes in France), the year(s) when the study was performed (eg, between 2014 and 2016), study population providing the exact number of participants (characterize participants: older adults, etc), and the main outcome measure(s). If you have space, also provide the statistical test(s) used.
• Results: Please, give results in numbers: effect sizes with 95% CI (or another measure, such as standard errors); just saying "significant differences were found" is not enough. Avoid uploading tables since the format may be lost.
• Conclusions: One or two phrases to provide the main clinical message (if applicable) of your study and/or to briefly designate new directions for future studies.
