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.

CIT & MH Service Access in Police Contacts: Impact on Outcomes of Persons w/SMI

Because of the remarkably high number of persons with mental illnesses who have encounters with law enforcement officers and the criminal justice system, and the rapid adoption of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs across the United States, there is an urgent need to understand under what conditions CIT leads to improved outcomes for such individuals. Innovation in both the conception and methodology of this research include: (1) a 25 police district study focused on differences in mental health services availability to explore effect on service utilization and mental health & criminal justice outcomes (2) a unique and cost-effective system of identification of calls to obtain valid and reliable encounter-level data; and (3) the integration of hypothesis-driven methodologies drawn from the quantitative and qualitative fields of inquiry, including spatial/geographic analysis, in order to understand how and under what conditions CIT is effective across generalizable populations. Given the magnitude of the problems at the interface between law enforcement/criminal justice and mental health, the proposed study is poised to have a major public health impact.

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.
