Weight care innovation has been a major topic over the past few years, as GLP-1s continue to be one of the buzziest areas in healthcare. However, many of the conversations and media coverage focus on pharma, payers, provider, and employer perspectives. How are consumers themselves actually considering and experiencing weight care solutions? We wanted to find out, so we engaged Evidation to conduct a series of surveys on the weight care experiences and preferences of U.S. adults who have been overweight or obese. Key insights from the surveys include: • People use multiple methods to try and lose weight: Weight loss is challenging, and many people employ multiple approaches. 64% reported tying two or more weight loss approaches simultaneously; 66% of respondents reported losing less weight than they wanted to in their last attempt. • Consumers who want to try GLP-1s face barriers: Consumers who are interested in trying GLP-1s reported barriers to doing so—nearly half citing medication cost as the top deterrent; 41% were denied coverage by their health plans. • Clinician relationships are important: Respondents were most open to receiving weight care in person with a clinician they knew (58%). Only 15% who had tried GLP-1s did so through virtual channels. • There’s a market for long-term support: 48% of respondents using GLP-1s expected to use them long-term, which to us signals an opportunity to complement obesity medications with wraparound care programs and solutions. Our findings from these surveys highlight the importance of delivering personalized tools and programs for weight loss—virtually and in-person. Weight care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and consumers are looking for weight care partners to tailor approaches to their preferences, needs, barriers, and lived experiences.
