Consumer perspectives on weight care
Headlines about innovative obesity solutions and GLP-1s continue to roll in, but most of the current discourse has been centered on the perspectives of pharma players, providers, payers, employers, and startups. To hear directly from consumers, we engaged direct-to-patient research platform Evidation to conduct the 2024 Rock Health Weight Care Experience Survey Series—surveying thousands of individuals about their use of weight care solutions like digital tools and prescription medications including GLP-1s. Our latest piece shares findings from the survey series, exploring utilization of different weight loss methods, barriers to accessing GLP-1s, and the types of wraparound support consumers want in their weight loss journeys.
