ANNOUNCEMENT--SOCIETY FOR ADOLESCENT MEDICINE 1986 ANNUAL MEETING
Dear Colleague and SAM Member: Our 1986 Annual Meeting will be in Boston, Massachusetts, March 14-16, 1986. The deadline for receipt of Abstracts will be Monday, September 9, 1985. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (512) 691-6644 if you have any questions or problems. I am looking forward to another exciting meeting in 1986. Yours sincerely, Lonnie K. Zeltzer, M.D. Director of Programs
Abstract announcement: There will be three avenues for presentation in the Scientific Program for 1986: 1) a ten-minute paper presentation; 2) a ten-minute presentation of a case or series of cases; and 3) a poster presentation. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by a large panel of Ph.D.s and M.D.s. Each abstract will be reviewed by three members of this panel. I will make the final selections based u p o n the reviewers' ratings. The subject of the abstract may vary widely to include any area of investigation relating to adolescents. However, the paper itself cannot have beenpresented at a national meeting prior to our March meeting. Case material will be given a separate review based upon whether the cases present n e w or controversial findings likely to stimulate research. These abstracts will be subject to the same critical review of methodology and clarity as are the research abstracts. After research and case abstracts have been selected for the program, they will be designated for either the platform or poster presentation. Assignment of accepted abstracts will be based u p o n the content of the abstract rather than on quality. All platform papers should be ten minutes in length followed by a five-minute question-and-answer period. Information regarding the format for
posters will be sent to those presenters whose abstracts are accepted for poster presentation. Abstracts must conform to the format described under Abstract Information. I will be glad to help anyone who has questions about abstract writing. If you have never written an abstract before, you may want to ask someone w h o has had this experience to review it so you can make any necessary changes before submission. Abstracts must be received in my office by September 9, 1985, to be considered for presentation. Authors whose papers are accepted for presentation will be notified by October 1, 1985. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (301) 528-3542 if you have any questions or problems. I look forward to a high-quality Scientific Program. Yours sincerely, Sheridan A. Phillips, Ph.D. Abstract Selection Chairman
DEADLINE: Abstracts must reach Dr. Phillips by
September 9, 1985.
Instructions to the author(s): 1. The enclosed abstract form must be used by authors wishing to present research material during the Annual Meeting of the Society for Adolescent Medicine. 2. The same abstract form will be used for paper, case, and poster categories but the author must check only ONE category on the Abstract Reproduction Form. 3. Heading for abstracts includes: a. Title of paper. b. Names of authors w h o contributed to the research in order of their contributions. (Do not
include any degrees, titles, or institutional appointments).

c. Institution(s) where work was carried out, the city and state where located. Abstracts must present a clear, concise summary of the work, including: a. Objective (preferably one sentence). b. Methods used (subjects, material, procedure, analysis). c. Results obtained (use statistics w h e n possible, rather than descriptions such as "most," "few," or "many"). d. Conclusion (based on data regarding original objective). Introductions, historical data, literature reviews, and bibliographies should be excluded. Standard abbreviations should be used: kg, g, mg, ml, L (liter), mEq, m (meter), m O s m (milliosmols), / (per), and % (percent). See also short list attached. Place special or unusual abbreviations in parentheses after the full word the first time it appears. Use numerals to indicate numbers except to begin sentences. Any special symbols, such as Greek letters that are not on a typewriter, must be drawn by hand in black ink. Each abstract form will hold approximately 250 words. Tables are permitted within the space. Abstracts that do not conform to the instructions will not be considered for selection. Extra abstract forms are readily available from Sheridan A. Phillips, Ph.D., University of Maryland School of Medicine, M.S.T.F. 400, 10 South Pine Street, Baltimore, MD 21201. If you plan to submit abstracts, do not hesitate to ask for extra forms early; mail is somewhat slow. Dr. Phillips may be contacted at (301) 528-3542. The typist should prepare six (6) double-spaced copies of the abstract material omitting all heading information, except for title. These copies are for use by members of the Review Panel when judging the abstracts, and must therefore be anonymous.
Selection of abstracts: Authors whose abstracts are accepted for presentation at the annual meeting will be notified by October 1, 1985. Authors of papers that will be read by title only will be notified at that time. Only the first author will be contacted.
Instructions to the typist: 1. Practice typing the abstract within an area the same size as the one on the official form.

2. All typing must be confined to just within the lines of the abstract form. No prescribed margin is necessary. Abstract must be typed in black. 3. Use no smaller than elite type (12 pitch), preferably with carbon ribbon; otherwise, good black nylon ribbon. Beware of faded-looking print; it will
not be satisfactory. 4. Abstracts not conforming to instructions will not be accepted. 5. Single-space all typing on abstract form. Do not erase. Do not type in the indented area; this is for SAM use only. 6. Set out heading thus: MATERNAL KNOWLEDGE OF ADOLESCENT HEALTH CARE. C.P. Brown, J.R. School Jr., and T.W.
