Case Reports

The Scientific Committee will organize the “Difficult Dual Disorders clinical cases” session during the WADD 2024 Congress, where we aim to discuss different case reports that present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Case reports should be submitted through the online form that can be accessed from this page.

When the case report has been successfully submitted, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author. If you do not receive the confirmation, please check your spam folder and, if you do not have it, please contact: info@dual-disorders-congress.com.
Authors will have access to their case reports until the deadline and will be able to edit submitted case reports.
All correspondence related to the case report will be sent to the authors’ email address.

In order for the Scientific Committee to be able to make a proper evaluation, you must send an abstract of 300 words maximum.
The maximum number of papers submitted per author/first author is 1. If you submit additional papers, you must not be the first author, and you must include other authors different from those of the first paper submitted.

Case report may not include graphs, figures, tables, acknowledgements or bibliographic citations.
To assist the Scientific Committee in making a correct evaluation, the structure of the case report should be as follows:

• Description of the objectives
• Material and methods
• Results and conclusions

An ad-hoc scientific committee will select 8 of them prior to the congress. These will be presented in a three-hour session. The remaining accepted abstracts will be presented in poster sessions.

Those selected must prepare a 10-minute presentation of their clinical case, which will be followed by comments from the experts and those attending the session.

• Authors will be asked to select the topic under which the abstract is submitted, but the conference organizers reserve the right to reassign the abstract to a different category if deemed more appropriate.
• Abstracts submitted must be original. Abstracts previously published or presented at another international scientific meeting should not be submitted.
• The author’s name and e-mail address will be used for all messages related to the congress.
• All papers will become property of the 8^th World Congress of the World Association of Dual Disorders (WADD) and 26^th Congress of the Spanish Society of Dual Disorders SEPD, and may be used for scientific purposes by the Spanish Society of Dual Disorders with the prior agreement of its Board of Directors

• If the case report is accepted, the presenting author must be registered for the Congress before March 15.
• Presenters whose abstracts have been accepted must register for the Congress and pay the corresponding registration fee before the deadline for the registration of authors with accepted papers.
• Failure to meet the registration deadline may result in exclusion from the program.
