Sessions and abstracts

 

The deadline for abstract submission has passed.

In addition to scientific studies, we invite attendees to present practice based studies on national and international successes and drawbacks in tobacco control (lessons learned).

Categories for paper and poster abstracts and symposia proposals are:

• WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC): challenges of implementing the FCTC guidelines at the national level.
• Scientific evidence for effectiveness of tobacco control policies.
• Experience with tobacco control in national contexts, with special focus on smoking bans and point of sale bans (case studies).
• Tobacco industry document research.
• Product regulation (additives, new products, e-cigarettes).
• The tobacco pack: from pictorial warning to plain packaging.
• Social inequalities in smoking/tobacco related health disparities.
• Strategies to reach and support/educate lower socio-economic status (SES) groups.
• Interventions for smokers with multiple risk behaviours (e.g., other addictions, co-morbidity, mental health problems).
• Novel tobacco treatment interventions.
• The role of health professionals.
• Health education and health communication (eg., mass media campaigns, health communication interventions, youth education programmes).
• Harm reduction approaches: moving beyond fixed positions.
• The economies of tobacco control: cost-effectiveness studies, economic benefits, earmarking of tax revenues.
• Monitoring and surveillance of tobacco control progress.
