PRISM

The PRISM Study is a research study conducted by faculty in the Departments of Family and Preventive Medicine and Internal Medicine at Rush University Medical Center designed to understand how weight loss medications (also called obesity medications) are being used by patients seen in primary care clinics at Rush. Primary care clinics include those in Family Medicine and Internal Medicine.

No, people with diabetes are not eligible to participate because the approaches to managing diabetes medications are a little different from managing medications for weight loss alone.

No. You and your healthcare team will continue to decide what happens with your medications. We are only interested in how you use your medications during the study.

You will be asked to consent to participate and then complete some online surveys (about 15 minutes). After that, you will be asked to report if you are still taking your obesity/weight management medications every two weeks via an online survey. These surveys will be SHORT (less than 5 minutes each).

You will be asked to complete very short surveys (less than 5 minutes) once every two weeks as long as you are on your medication or until the study ends, whichever comes first. The study is scheduled to end in December 2027.

You will be entered into a monthly drawing for each survey completed. The drawings will be for two $25 gift cards and one $50 gift card.

This study is funded by a grant from the National Institutes for Health (NIH).
