Identifying Changes in Food Behaviors Associated With Beginning GLP-1 Medication (NCT06843512)

Exploring the Influence of GLP-1 Medication on Food Attitudes and Selection in a Virtual Reality Buffet

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Interventional Protocol ๐Ÿ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Penn State University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

In recent years, GLP-1 medications have become a widely employed approach by physicians to address weight concerns in patients and lead to weight loss. Little is known, however, about how these medications may alter an individual's attitude towards food, food reactivity, or the specific types and amounts of foods an individual will choose. The purpose of this study is to observe the changes an individual experiences in their relationship and reaction to food and in their food selection prior to or within the first two weeks of taking GLP-1 medication to after three months on the medication. The researchers of this study believe that an understanding of such changes can inform questions seeking to ensure maintenance of appropriate nutrient balance within individuals on weight loss medications.
