Academic medical centers (AMCs) have increasingly adopted conflict of interest policies governing physician-industry relationships; it is unclear how policies impact prescribing. Determine whether nine American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC)-recommended policies influence psychiatrists’ antipsychotic prescribing and compare prescribing between academic and non-academic psychiatrists. We measured number of prescriptions for 10 heavily-promoted and 9 newly-introduced/reformulated antipsychotics between 2008 and 2011 among 2,464 academic psychiatrists at 101 AMCs and 11,201 non-academic psychiatrists. We measured AMC compliance with 9 AAMC recommendations. Difference-in-difference analyses compared changes in antipsychotic prescribing between 2008 and 2011 among psychiatrists in AMCs compliant with ≥7/9 recommendations, those whose institutions had lesser compliance, and non-academic psychiatrists. Ten centers were AAMC-compliant in 2008, 30 attained compliance by 2011, and 61 were never compliant. Share of prescriptions for heavily promoted antipsychotics was stable and comparable between academic and non-academic psychiatrists (63.0-65.8% in 2008 and 62.7-64.4% in 2011). Psychiatrists in AAMC-compliant centers were slightly less likely to prescribe these antipsychotics compared to those in never compliant centers [Relative Odds Ratio (ROR), 0.95, 95% CI 0.94-0.97, <0.0001]. Share of prescriptions for new/reformulated antipsychotics grew from 5.3% in 2008 to 11.1% in 2011. Psychiatrists in AAMC-compliant centers actually increased prescribing of new/reformulated antipsychotics relative to those in never-compliant centers (ROR 1.39, 95% CI 1.35-1.44, p<0.0001), a relative increase of 1.1% in probability. Psychiatrists exposed to strict conflict of interest policies prescribed heavily promoted antipsychotics at rates similar to academic psychiatrists non-academic psychiatrists exposed to less strict or no policies.
