equity outcomes.

*Helpful Hints:*
*ð* If the submission is a quantitative research project, the first
sentence of the abstract should state the specific objectives of the study.
Methods should describe the study design, subjects and evaluative
procedures. Clear documentation of statistical methodology should accompany
the methods/results section. A summary of results must be stated in the
abstract to support the final conclusions. Statements about providing
further data or conclusions at the time the manuscript is presented will
reduce the score of the abstract.
*ð* If the submission is a non-quantitative presentation, state the
purpose and methodology as appropriate. The body of the abstract should
include the main points that are to be made as well as the conclusions, and
how these can be applied in other situations.
