One in eight Americans say they have tried GLP-1s, a weight loss injection. Research led by Arizona State University finds these medicines are influencing social norms, user strategies, and health systems.

They identified nine global trends that should be considered as these drugs continue to gain popularity and become more accessible.

Alexandra Brewis and Cindi SturtzSreethran, Arizona State University professor’s, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more on the social effects of GLP-1 medications.
