Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,446 of the $3,378 with a category attached, or 72.4%. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by GSK at 37.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,820 and has fallen 88.7% since, to $205 in 2024. Among pediatrics 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.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
