	CALL FOR PAPERS

For paper and poster sessions, the Scientific Committee would like to primarily invite abstracts on models, projects, interventions or studies on all issues named above. Additional sessions will be organised on:
•••• Children and adolescents in hospitals
•••• Migrant friendly hospitals
•••• Health promoting psychiatric health care services
•••• Smoke-free hospitals (specifically on arguments for implementation, smoking cessation interventions and training)
•••• Health promoting palliative care and pain management
•••• Mental Health Promotion in hospitals

A specific strand of parallel sessions will be dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and practice of health promotion for hospital patients. For this strand, papers on concepts, models, tools and recommendations concerning empowering strategies for patients with coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, asthma and COPD are especially welcome.

Finally, contributions may also cover other relevant issues of health promotion for patients, staff and the popula-tion in the local hospital community.

Criteria for the selection of contributions are their explicit link to health promotion (described as being empower-ing, participatory, holistic, intersectoral, equitable, sustainable, and multistrategic) and, as far as available, a refer-ral to outcomes and evidence.
