CDC’s MMWR and Medscape are proud to introduce a new FREE continuing education (CE) activity.

A CDC survey report is the basis for this activity.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to
  1. describe HPD use and factors associated with HPD use by U.S. adults attending sporting and entertainment events,
  2. determine noise exposure associated with sporting and entertainment events and risks associated with noise exposure, and
