Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you take part in a study being conducted through the School of Health at the University of the Sunshine Coast, aimed at exploring health professionals' diverse perspectives on the use of GLP-1 drugs for weight management. We are seeking participants from the fields of medicine and psychology who support or treat individuals dealing with weight-related concerns. The study involves a brief, anonymous online survey which will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Your input will be invaluable in helping us to better understand professional views on weight loss drugs and will inform the development of practical resources and strategies for clinicians working with patients who are using, or considering, GLP1 type drugs. This includes identifying the need for screening tools related to disordered eating and body image concerns. If you or someone you know meets the criteria and may be interested in participating, please feel free to share this invitation and survey link. Thank you for your consideration. https://uniofsunshinecoast.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3rTlZBILrM1zvwi
