Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 132 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 35.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,069 and has fallen 97.6% since, to $50 in 2023. Among psychiatric/mental health, adult clinicians in RI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 132 payments — averaging $20.16 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
