We strongly encourage the use of one of the following sets of subheadings, depending upon which seems more relevant to your
particular abstract: "Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions;" or "Issues Addressed, Project Description, Results, and
Lessons Learned." The latter may be particularly useful for those whose abstracts do not describe formal research programs.

Type Abstract Here:
Objectives: A concise statement detailing the hypothesis and research goals should be included at the
beginning of the abstract.
Methods: The essential elements of the study design should be described. For most studies, the following
questions should be answered: 1) What criteria were used to select study subjects; 2) How were these subjects
sampled; and 3) What important predictor and outcome variables were measured? Descriptive and analytic statistical tests should be mentioned briefly.
Results: The main study results should be described. Ensure that the reader understands how all results were
obtained by referring to the Methods section. A simple table or graph may be used, but it must be neat, drawn
in black ink, and must fit within the lines. Appropriate statistics should be used to support inferences about
the data.
Conclusions: A concise statement of the main conclusions of the study should be stated at the end of the abstract. This statement should focus on the impact and significance of the project, and should include one or
more of the following: 1) an extrapolation of specific results to more general circumstances; 2) a description
of implications raised by the study; or 3) suggestions for future research.
