Gathering thoughts on proposed research - Is this important/meaningful?
Hi everyone,
I’m a Trainee Clinical Psychologist who is currently developing a qualitative research project exploring the psychological impact of weight regain following GLP-1-assisted weight loss (for example Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc.) in people living with obesity.
Before finalising my research question, I really want to hear from people with lived experience to understand whether this feels like a meaningful or important area to research.
I’d like to know more about the following:
- Which psychological aspects of weight regain you think are the most important to explore.
- Whether there are experiences you feel are often misunderstood or overlooked by healthcare professionals or in research.
- What kinds of questions you think would be valuable to include in interviews.
- Anything else you think is relevant.
I’m not recruiting participants yet. I’m at an earlier stage of trying to shape the project in a way that is informed by lived experience to maximise its impact.
Any thoughts, experiences or suggestions would be really appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read.
