CDC’s MMWR and Medscape are proud to introduce a new FREE continuing education (CE) activity. The goal is to inform clinicians of overdose death rates among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017, overall and by drug subcategories, and clinical implications for members of the health care team. CDC surveillance is the basis for this activity.

This activity is intended for internists, emergency medicine practitioners, family medicine practitioners, obstetricians, gynecologists, psychiatrists, public health officials, nurses, pharmacists, and other members of the health care team who care for women who might be at risk for drug overdose.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to

  1. describe overall rates of overdose death among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017;
  2. determine rates of overdose death by drug subcategories among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017; and
  3. describe clinical implications of overdose death rates among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017.
