Summary:
In adults with obesity, exposure to GLP-1 receptor agonists and bariatric surgery
significantly increased policy support for obesity treatments compared to lack of exposure to these interventions, though it was associated with some perceptions of these treatments as “shortcuts,” which could reduce support for policies.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults with obesity exposed to GLP-1 receptor agonists or bariatric surgery. |
