Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.3% of the total across 370 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 29 manufacturers reported payments, led by Corium, LLC at 24.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $3,777 and has fallen 61.6% since, to $1,451 in 2025. Among child & adolescent psychiatry clinicians in AZ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 370 payments — averaging $34.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
