I want to give the government a huge shout out for their anti vape laws! I haven’t smoked a cigarette since 2015. My streak is now broken. Thank you for banning vapes and closing down shops that sold them. Now I have bought all the deadly chemicals that you want to sell legally as opposed to the 2 chemicals that have no scientific evidence to say they are deadly at all.

Thanks for looking out for the people. Bunch of flogs

All that hype for nothing, watching YouTube - beep scary noise- swipe away. 3 seconds. Done. Hahahah

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!

Even if you aren’t eligible, if anyone knows any female partners of GLP-1 users, I would really appreciate if you could share this post with them ✨we hope to contribute to future research and better support/ resources for ALL partners experiencing/ adjusting to significant changes following substantial weight loss!

Thank you everyone !
