Disclosure documents are reviewed for potential conflict of interests and, if identified, they are resolved prior to confirmation of participation. Only those participants who have no conflict of interest or who agree to an identified resolution process prior to their participation were involved in the CME activity. Dr. Botelho has disclosed that he is the owner of Motivate Healthy Habits Publications. Dr. Wood indicated she has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.
