Summary
A cross-sectional analysis of 92 US-based physicians who served on DSM-5-TR panels found that 60% received industry payments totaling $14.2 million during 2016-2019. The study reveals widespread undisclosed financial conflicts of interest among panel members responsible for developing the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, with one-third of task force members also receiving payments. The researchers recommend prohibiting conflicts of interest for decision-makers on such influential diagnostic guideline panels.
