Conflict of Interest

The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Actualize Therapy, LLC

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Mohr, the mentor on this career award, has equity interests in Actualize Therapy, LLC., a company that could potentially benefit from the outcomes of this research. Dr. Mohr’s research includes developing mobile apps aimed at treating depressive symptoms; one such app is IntelliCare. Actualize, Therapy, LLC has interest in licensing this app. This research intends to deploy the IntelliCare apps on two university campuses, with exploration of outcomes looking at improving processes of care on college campuses (e.g. mental health counselling centers). The relationship of the focus of this company and potential intersection with this research results in the perception of a conflict of interest that should be managed.

Listed Research Project
Expanding College Student Mental Health with Stress Management Mobile Technologies

Roughly 3/4 of all lifetime cases of psychiatric disorders have an onset by age 24 and nearly 70% of Americans enroll in college immediately following high school, with even more enrolling in subsequent years. This is an important point at which to intervene and facilitate engagement with mental health treatment in order to avoid lifelong impacts of untreated mental illness, including substance use, academic failure, low work productivity, and impaired social relationships. Technology-based interventions, including mobile phone apps, can improve the reach and efficiency of mental health services provided on college campuses.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
