Conflict of Interest

Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Assessments Illustrated, LLC

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Intellectual property rights (e.g., royalties, patents, copyrights) not from the awardee Institution

Dr. Ty Ridenour’s spouse owns the copyrights to the Assessment of Liability and EXposure to Substance Use and Antisocial Behavior (ALEXSA) and the Youth Risk Index (YRI) through ownership of Assessments Illustrated. The research funded under this R01 will use components of the ALEXSA and the YRI for the clinical assessments . Because the results of this study could have potential impact on the marketability of the ALEXSA, RTI deemed this to be a conflicting interest.

Listed Research Project
Substance Use Screening and Prevention for Adolescents in Pediatric Primary Care

Recent federal laws and medical profession policies petition for healthcare-based prevention and treatment of substance use (SU) and related disorders. This application is to test the efficacy of integrating two evidence- based approaches for 10- to 13-year-olds, a screening tool (Urgency Indicator) with a brief SU prevention program (Family Check-Up), into primary care to create a transformative intervention that follows the Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment healthcare model. It is hoped that this innovative approach will lead to widespread dissemination of a low-cost, fiscally self-sustaining, and effective SU/SUD prevention program which resembles successful healthcare-based prevention programs for younger ages.

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.
