Description
Rana Abutaima and colleagues survey knowledge, attitudes, and practices around GLP-1 weight-loss drugs among the general public in Jordan. Their 2024 cross-sectional study uses a validated online questionnaire.
Three hundred eighty-nine responses were analysed, with women forming about two-thirds of participants. Over half were married, and most lived in central Jordan. Fifty-seven percent believed diabetes medicines could be used for weight loss. Recognition varied by brand, with one diabetes drug recognised by over two-thirds for weight use. Only about twelve percent had actually used medication to lose weight. Attitudes overall were neutral, and regression explored links with knowledge and attitude scores.
