Call for Abstracts

The Global Health and Health Care Interest Group (IG) call for abstracts is now closed. The program for the IG meeting is developed by volunteer members of the IG Advisory Committee who are conducting this Call for Abstracts. Our Call for Abstracts offers researchers the opportunity to disseminate research on topics that may not be featured during the ARM. All accepted abstracts will be published in the program for the Global Health and Health Care session. Our IG is exploring a collaboration with the top journal Health Affairs. The podium presentations may have the opportunity to be reviewed by Health Affairs

Global Health and Health Care IG is a network to connect researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and trainees interested in health services and systems research (HSR) in a global context. The Group’s mission is to foster the global development, dissemination, and use of HSR to improve the quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes of care and the health status and quality of life globally.

All topics related to our mission are welcome. Multinational and cross-national research are of particular interest. Important themes include:

  • Translating evidences into practice and policy
  • Health Care of non-communicable diseases
  • Innovation from emerging economies
  • Health Care equity
  • Health systems design, management, and evaluation

Submission Deadline: 27, 2017 at 5:00 p.mE.T.

We encourage you to submit early to ensure prompt confirmation and processing.

Evaluation Criteria:

Submissions will undergo a blind peer review and will be evaluated by the following criteria:

  • Focus is health services research in a global context;
  • Method is well-suited to the research question;
  • The practice and policy implications are clearly stated;
  • Significance to global health and health care.

Abstracts not selected for oral presentation may be selected for poster presentations.

ARM Call for Abstracts
AcademyHealth believes the audience for work submitted to an IG is different from the audience at the main meeting, therefore welcomes you to submit your abstract to both calls. However, IG review committees will factor acceptance to the main ARM into their deliberations. An abstract that is accepted for podium presentation in the main ARM will not be permitted to have a podium presentation at an IG meeting but can be considered for an IG poster. Submissions to interest groups must be submitted separately to the specific IG. The deadline for submission to ARM is January 12, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. E.T.
