justify the study and not attempt to review the literature
 One sentence clearly stating the main objective(s)
 A summary of the methods (no more than one third of the abstract length)
 A summary of the main results (no more than one third of the abstract length)
 A one sentence concluding statement
 One sentence with recommendations for practice or policy
