Abstract Submissions
LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS
KEY DATES
Submissions open: Friday 6th November 2026
Submissions close: Friday 20th November 2026
ASBHM2027 welcomes late-breaking submissions of original research, review studies, and replication studies from academics, clinicians and policy-makers at all levels involved in behavioural medicine. Statistical significance or "novelty" of submissions is not a necessary criterion; however, submissions must align with the themes of ASBHM and be of interest to delegates.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Oncology, dietetics/nutrition, psychology, public health, chronic disease management, health behaviour change, lifestyle psychiatry and medicine, digital health and technology, communicable diseases, health education, prevention and risk reduction, and psychophysiology and biobehavioural mechanisms (e.g., stress).
Presentation Types
We will be offering the below presentation types at ASBHM2027:
Oral Presentation
This presentation style consists of a multi-slide visual presentation (e.g., PowerPoint) with a limit of 10 minutes of presentation time, with 5 minutes for questions and discussion at the end. You can submit your abstract without results, however, preliminary findings (at a minimum) must be presented at ASBHM2027.
Rapid Presentation
This presentation style is ASBHM’s modern version of a traditional ‘poster’ presentation. It consists of a single static visual slide (formatted however you please), with a 3-minute presentation time and 2 minutes for questions and discussion at the end.
Abstract Submission Guidelines
Only submissions entered through the online portal will be accepted. Any abstracts sent by email will not be considered.
All submissions need to follow the guidelines below:
Oral presentation and rapid communication submissions:
- Written in English and related to an area of health psychology and/or behavioural medicine (see above for some ideas).
- Structured, using the headings: background/aims, methods, results, conclusions.
- Abstracts that do not currently have results will be considered.
- Does not exceed 250 words
- Do not include the title, author’s name or references in this word count.
- Abstracts must not include tables or figures but can include references if required.
- Authors are advised to please proofread their abstracts before submission for grammatical and spelling errors.
- Please ensure you select the type of presentation/s you would like your abstract to be considered for.
Please note:
- Submission of an abstract does not mean you are automatically registered for the conference.
- Registration for the conference is separate. If you do not register by the deadline, your abstract will be removed from consideration in the scientific program.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by members of the ASBHM2027 Scientific Planning Committee, and authors will be advised of the outcome of their submission via email by the end of November 2026. If you have any queries regarding your submission or the abstract submission process, please send an email to us at admin@asbhm.com.
