Weight loss injection research survey

We’re running a short research survey to better understand people’s experiences, views, and information needs around weight loss injections, sometimes referred to as weight loss jabs.

These medicines are increasingly discussed in the UK, but experiences of access, use, and support vary widely. The aim of this survey is to gather real-world insight to help improve how weight loss support and information are delivered.

The survey takes around 2–3 minutes to complete.

Who the weight loss injection survey is for

The survey is open to adults living in the UK who are aged 18 or over and who:

  • Are currently using a weight loss injection.

  • Have used a weight loss injection in the past year.

  • Are actively considering using a weight loss injection in the near future.

If weight loss injections are not relevant to you at this time, the survey will end early to respect your time.

Weight loss injections are a rapidly evolving area of care, with differences in access through the NHS, private clinics, and online providers.

People’s experiences can differ depending on cost, availability, side effects, results, and the level of support provided.

By collecting anonymised responses, we aim to better understand:

  • How people are accessing weight loss injections.

  • What goals people are hoping to achieve.

  • What challenges or side effects people experience.

  • Where people first learn about these treatments.

  • What information or support feels missing.

This research will help inform future health content, tools, and support options in the UK.

The survey includes questions about your background with weight loss, your experience of weight loss injections (if applicable), and where you’ve found information or support.

There are no right or wrong answers. We’re interested in your experience and perspective.

You can skip questions where indicated, and you can stop taking part at any time by closing the survey.

By choosing to take part, you confirm that you are a UK resident aged 18 or over and that you consent to participate.

  • The survey does not collect personally identifiable information as part of the main questions

  • Responses are analysed in aggregate for research purposes only

  • The survey is designed to be GDPR-compliant in line with UK ICO guidance

At the end of the survey, you may optionally choose to provide an email address to receive a summary of the results. If you do, your email will be used only for that purpose, with the option to unsubscribe.

This survey is for research purposes only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations.

Weight loss injections are prescription medicines and are not suitable for everyone. Decisions about their use should always be made with a qualified healthcare professional.

If topics around weight, body image, or eating are difficult for you, please take care and consider whether taking part feels right for you at this time.
