EMBARGO POLICY

​

The Pan American Board of Obesity Medicine (PABOM), through the publication of content at PABOM Congress 2023 (including plenary sessions and abstracts), aims at innovative studies regarding the latest advances in obesity and weight loss research. These communications seek to provide remarkable exposure and recognition for researchers and their studies, and have a significant impact on the prevention and treatment of obesity. Abstracts submitted through the online application process are expected to reflect original research guided by transparency and research ethics. Reported data may have been previously published or publicly presented at the time of abstract submission. Paper presentations at conferences (national or international) are allowed even before they are presented at the I PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS ON OBESITY MEDICINE. The PABOM and its designated abstract reviewers treat abstract submissions as strictly confidential until the time of their public release. The PABOM will publish approved abstracts on the website prior to the start of I PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS ON OBESITY MEDICINE to assist registered participants in itinerary planning. All abstracts are barred from press/media coverage until 12:00 GMT on the first day of the Scientific Sessions of Obesity Week Brazil – May 25, 2023.
