Hi everyone,

My name is Lili and I am a student researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast (QLD, Aus). The research team I am working is conducting an important study which would like to explore the experiences of women, whose intimate partners ARE using or HAVE used GLP-1s (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or others) for weight loss.

The overall aim of this study is to better understand partners’ experiences and perspectives because despite these medications becoming more popular, there is very little research and information about this specific topic and population.

Note. The study was initially open to both men and women. However I’ve only currently had men participate, hence the exclusively female population

CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
✅ you identify as female (ANYONE who identifies as female is welcome!- including gender assigned at birth, transgender, or anyone who simply identifies as female)

✅ you are in an intimate partnership (All relationship types/ sexual orientations are applicable here)

✅your intimate partner is/has used a GLP-1 for weight loss

✅You are over the age of 18

✅Live in Australia/ New Zealand/ Oceania

RESEARCH STUDY DETAILS
If you meet the eligibility criteria above, you are invited to complete a confidential face-to-face interview either online through zoom (🕓approx. 45-60 minutes). When interviews are completed, each participant will receive $25 direct bank transfer as a genuine thank you for their time.

Topics which will be explored in the interview include: your perceptions of your relationship, emotional wellbeing, weight-related beliefs, and shared social behaviours such as eating and physical activity.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
❗️To register interest in the interviewss❗️
Note: registering interest does not mean you HAVE to do an interview. More information will be provided beforehand!

Thank you everyone !

Hello Everyone,
My name is Lili and I am a student researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The research team I am working is conducting a study which would like to explore the experiences of Australian intimate partners of GLP-1 RA users who ARE using or HAVE used GLP-1 RAs (e.g. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or others) for weight loss. The aim of this study is to better understand partners’ experiences and perspectives because currently there is very little research focusing on this area!

CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
✅ you are currently in a partnership or have previously been the partner GLP-1 RA drug for weight loss
✅You are over the age of 18
✅Live in Australia

intimate partners includes any 'significant others' including:
✅spouses (husband/wife)
✅intimate partners (cohabiting or defacto)
✅boyfriend or girlfriends
✅former/ex partners and
✅polyamorous relationships.
✅ANY other intimate partnership not mentioned above

RESEARCH STUDY DETAILS:

If you meet the eligibility criteria above, you are invited to complete a confidential in-person interview either online through zoom or in person at the University of the Sunshine Coast’s campus (🕓approx. 45-60 minutes). When interviews are completed, each participant will receive $25 each as a genuine thank you for their time.

Topics which will be explored in the interview include: your perceptions of your relationship, emotional wellbeing, weight-related beliefs, and shared social behaviours such as eating and physical activity.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Thank you!

As a student researcher at the University of the Sunshine Coast, from the school of health, our research team would like to invite ALL intimate partners of GLP-1 users aged over 18 to participate in a 45-60 minute interview (online or in-person). Once interviews are completed, you will receive $25 compensation as a thank you for your time.

Your unique experiences are meaningful and will help to better understand the potential broader psychological, social and behavioural impacts of GLP-1 RA weight-loss medications. This research would like to contribute to and inform GLP-1 related support groups and treatment plans for both GLP-users and their intimate partners and other close interpersonal relationships.

To register your interest for an interview, please scan the QR code. Alternatively, please follow the link🔗: Interview Registration
Registering interest does NOT mean you have to participate in an interview; a member of the research team will be in touch to follow-up and confirm interview times.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please email lyc002@student.usc.edu.au
