How Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Medications Are Depicted in Instagram Posts Regarding Women’s Health, Nontraditional Access, and Barriers to Access: Content Analysis
Our findings highlight the perceived benefits of GLP-1 medications for women's health, the need to increase health literacy about where to safely access medications, and how additional attention is needed for equitable access to GLP-1 medications. The onus is on social media companies to promote content that is safe and for the health care system and its payers to address health care inequities for historically marginalized communities.
