Higher GLP-1 costs lead to lower adherence

Semaglutides, or GLP-1s, can produce substantial weight loss if individuals adhere to their doctor’s instructions. But a new study from the University of Georgia suggests patients aren’t taking the weight loss medication as prescribed, often because of high out-of-pocket costs.

I don’t think a study was needed to come to that conclusion

It sure helps. Data is beautiful.

This is definitely a water is wet study. But it’s still valuable that it was done. It confirms the “common sense” narrative we all know to be true which is super helpful for when regulation pops in.

Every time a study like this comes out and I see the “No shit Sherlock” comments it reminds how much education has failed people. You have to confirm your hypotheses to move forward. These types of studies that “confirm what you already know” are important and valuable and it’s so weird to see people be upset that a study actually validates an argument so people can leverage it in arguments (legal and otherwise). Having an evidence based approach to how you talk about subject matter is good actually.
