Have / do you or someone you know have experience with GLP-1 medications? Patient / Public / Consumer Reviewer needed for GLP-1 medication reviews

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

If so, your input is needed on a review looking at various GLP-1 medications. Cochrane uses the words Patient and Public to mean patients, carers and members of the public with an interest in healthcare. Cochrane is committed to involving patients and the public in producing health evidence to ensure Cochrane Reviews are more relevant and trustworthy.

From a consumer perspective, we are interested in ensuring the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and feels relevant for those with experience with GLP-1 medications for weight loss and/or obesity (specifically Liraglutide, Tirzepatide, and Semiglutide). As such, it will be helpful to patients and carers making healthcare decisions.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you will focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer / public / patient reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!

Ideal applicant

Our ideal applicant has some familiarity with systematic reviews and Cochrane, as well as personal experience with GLP-1 weight loss medications. The experience can be with a patient, your own personal experience, a family member, or someone you care for. You are proficient in English and the use of plain language in healthcare. This is a remote position and will be completed on your own time and submitted on or before May 28th, 2025. You will receive specific instructions on how to serve as a consumer reviewer. We are looking for up to three reviewers for this task.
