  3. Cost effectiveness and public health implications

Abstract Speakers will be contacted after January 31st, 2011.

Evaluation Method: Evaluation of abstracts by a special Abstract Review Committee will be based on the following considerations:

  • Originality (idea) – Is the idea truly different or is it a restatement of other work?
  • Methods – What was done with the idea? Where the methods described? How reliable and valid are the methods used? Were new or untried methods validated and calibrated properly?
  • Analysis – What was done with the data once they were obtained? Were statistical methods used, if necessary, and were they appropriate?
  • Results – How reliable were the results? Were they believable? How well were they described?
  • Conclusion – Were any conclusions drawn? Were the conclusions appropriate to the questions asked and to the results? Were the conclusions valid?
  • Writing – Is the style grammatically correct and is the paper presented in a well organized, clear and understandable fashion?

The best abstracts will be selected for poster presentation and up to 4 of them might be included for oral presentation during one of the Plenary sessions of the World Congress.
