13、vels and suppress appetite.Ozempic is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating diabetes,while Wegovy is approved for people with obesity or excess weight who also have a weight-related health condition.Mounjaro and Zepbound are other similar drugs.Mounjaro is for treating diabetes,w

14、hile Zepbound is for people with obesity.1 Demand for Ozempic and Wegovy has led to supply shortages,raising concerns about off-label use and impacting people who rely on these drugs to manage their health conditions.2 Some experts have heralded drugs like Ozempic as a breakthrough for treating obes

15、ity in America and a catalyst for changing the way excess weight conditions are understood.3 For now,the public has modest expectations for the impact drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy will have on obesity in the United States.Only 16%of those familiar with these drugs think they will do a great deal or

16、 quite a bit to reduce obesity,while 35%think they will do some and 33%expect they will do not much or nothing at all to reduce obesity in the U.S.(15%say theyre not sure).About four-in-ten U.S.adults have obesity,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,and theres been a signific

17、ant increase in the share of Americans with this disease over the past two decades.Obesity is linked to a number of conditions that can lead to premature death,including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.It also accounts for billions of dollars in health care costs each year.By and large,views on th

18、e use and impact of weight-loss drugs are similar across most major demographic groups.For instance,comparable shares of women(56%)and men(51%)who are 1 Blum,Dani.“What Is Ozempic and Why Is It Getting So Much Attention?”Nov.13,2023.The New York Times.2 Rapaport,Lisa.“Ozempic Shortage:How a Weight L

24、off.About two-thirds(65%)say willpower alone is usually not enough for people who are trying to lose weight and keep it off.By contrast,34%think that willpower is usually enough for most people who are trying to lose weight.The view that losing weight is not only a matter of willpower is widely held

30、includes a question on respondents self-reported perception of their own weight that is used in CDC surveys.Notably,majorities of adults across all perceived weight types say losing weight and keeping it off involves more than just willpower alone.Among those who describe their weight as very or sli

48、omly selected U.S.adults.Panelists participate via self-administered web surveys.Panelists who do not have internet access at home are provided with a tablet and wireless internet connection.Interviews are conducted in both English and Spanish.The panel is being managed by Ipsos.Data in this report

49、is drawn from ATP Wave 142,conducted from Feb.7 to Feb.11,2024,and includes an oversample of non-Hispanic Asian adults,non-Hispanic Black men and Hispanic men in order to provide more precise estimates of the opinions and experiences of these smaller demographic subgroups.These oversampled groups ar

50、e weighted back to reflect their correct proportions in the population.A total of 10,133 panelists responded out of 11,117 who were sampled,for a response rate of 91%.The cumulative response rate accounting for nonresponse to the recruitment surveys and attrition is 3%.The break-off rate among panel

51、ists who logged on to the survey and completed at least one item is less than 1%.The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 10,133 respondents is plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.12 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Panel recruitment The ATP was created in 2014,with the first cohor

52、t of panelists invited to join the panel at the end of a large,national,landline and cellphone random-digit-dial survey that was conducted in both English and Spanish.Two additional recruitments were conducted using the same method in 2015 and 2017,respectively.Across these three surveys,a total of

53、19,718 adults were invited to join the ATP,of whom 9,942(50%)agreed to participate.In August 2018,the ATP switched from telephone to address-based sampling(ABS)recruitment.A study cover letter and a pre-incentive are mailed to a stratified,random sample of households selected from the U.S.Postal Ser

54、vices Delivery Sequence File.This Postal Service file has been estimated to cover as much as 98%of the population,although some studies suggest that the coverage could be in the low 90%range.4 Within each sampled household,the adult with the next birthday is asked to participate.Other details of the

55、 ABS recruitment protocol have changed over time but are available upon request.5 We have recruited a national sample of U.S.adults to the ATP approximately once per year since 2014.In some years,the recruitment has included additional efforts(known as an“oversample”)to boost sample size with underr

56、epresented groups.For example,Hispanic adults,Black adults and Asian adults were oversampled in 2019,2022 and 2023,respectively.Across the six address-based recruitments,a total of 23,862 adults were invited to join the ATP,of whom 20,917 agreed to join the panel and completed an initial profile sur

61、tinued to receive survey invitations at the time this survey was conducted.The American Trends Panel never uses breakout routers or chains that direct respondents to additional surveys.Sample design The overall target population for this survey was noninstitutionalized persons ages 18 and older livi

62、ng in the U.S.,including Alaska and Hawaii.It featured a stratified random sample from the ATP in which Hispanic men,non-Hispanic Black men and non-Hispanic Asian adults were selected with certainty.The remaining panelists were sampled at rates designed to ensure that the share of respondents in eac

63、h stratum is proportional to its share of the U.S.adult population to the greatest extent possible.Respondent weights are adjusted to account for differential probabilities of selection as described in the Weighting section below.Questionnaire development and testing The questionnaire was developed

64、by Pew Research Center in consultation with Ipsos.The web program was rigorously tested on both PC and mobile devices by the Ipsos project management team and Pew Research Center researchers.The Ipsos project management team also populated test data that was analyzed in SPSS to ensure the logic and

65、randomizations were working as intended before launching the survey.Incentives All respondents were offered a post-paid incentive for their participation.Respondents could choose to receive the post-paid incentive in the form of a check or a gift code to A or could choose to decline the incentive.In

66、centive amounts ranged from$5 to$15 depending on whether the respondent belongs to a part of the population that is harder or easier to reach.Differential incentive amounts were designed to increase panel survey participation among groups that traditionally have low survey response propensities.Data

67、 collection protocol The data collection field period for this survey was Feb.7 to Feb.11,2024.Postcard notifications were mailed to a subset of ATP panelists6 with a known residential address on Feb.7.6 Postcard notifications are sent to 1)panelists who have been provided with a tablet to take ATP

68、surveys,2)panelists who were recruited within the last two years,and 3)panelists recruited prior to the last two years who opt to continue receiving postcard notifications.14 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Invitations were sent out in two separate launches:soft launch and full launch.Sixty

69、panelists were included in the soft launch,which began with an initial invitation sent on the morning of Feb.7.The ATP panelists chosen for the initial soft launch were known responders who had completed previous ATP surveys within one day of receiving their invitation.All remaining English-and Span

70、ish-speaking sampled panelists were included in the full launch and were sent an invitation on the afternoon of Feb.7.All panelists with an email address received an email invitation and up to two email reminders if they did not respond to the survey.All ATP panelists who consented to SMS messages r

71、eceived an SMS invitation and up to two SMS reminders.Data quality checks To ensure high-quality data,the Centers researchers performed data quality checks to identify any respondents showing clear patterns of satisficing.This includes checking for whether respondents left questions blank at very hi

72、gh rates or always selected the first or last answer presented.As a result of this checking,two ATP respondents were removed from the survey dataset prior to weighting and analysis.Invitation and reminder dates,ATP Wave 142 Soft launch Full launch Initial invitation February 7,2024 February 7,2024 F

74、t points in the survey process.First,each panelist begins with a base weight that reflects their probability of selection for their initial recruitment survey.These weights are then rescaled and adjusted to account for changes in the design of ATP recruitment surveys from year to year.Finally,the we

75、ights are calibrated to align with the population benchmarks in the accompanying table to correct for nonresponse to recruitment surveys and panel attrition.If only a subsample of panelists was invited to participate in the wave,this weight is adjusted to account for any differential probabilities o

76、f selection.Among the panelists who completed the survey,this weight is then calibrated again to align with the population benchmarks identified in the accompanying table and trimmed at the 2nd and 98th percentiles to reduce the loss in precision stemming from variance in the weights.This trimming i

77、s performed separately among non-Hispanic Black,non-Hispanic Asian,Hispanic and all other respondents.Sampling errors and tests of statistical significance take into account the effect of weighting.American Trends Panel weighting dimensions Variable Benchmark source Age(detailed)Age x Gender Educati

89、eported in this study is adjusted for household size and cost-of-living differences by geography.Panelists then are assigned to income tiers that are based on the median adjusted family income of all American Trends Panel members.The process uses the following steps:1.First,panelists are assigned to

90、 the midpoint of the income range they selected in a family income question that was measured on either the most recent annual profile survey or,for newly recruited panelists,their recruitment survey.This provides an approximate income value that can be used in calculations for the adjustment.2.Next

91、,these income values are adjusted for the cost of living in the geographic area where the panelist lives.This is calculated using price indexes published by the U.S.Bureau of Economic Analysis.These indexes,known as Regional Price Parities(RPP),compare the prices of goods and services across all U.S

92、.metropolitan statistical areas as well as non-metro areas with the national average prices for the same goods and services.The most recent available data at the time of the annual profile survey is from 2021.Those who fall outside of metropolitan statistical areas are assigned the overall RPP for t

93、heir states non-metropolitan area.3.Family incomes are further adjusted for the number of people in a household using the methodology from Pew Research Centers previous work on the American middle class.This is done because a four-person household with an income of,say,$50,000 faces a tighter budget

94、 constraint than a two-person household with the same income.4.Panelists are then assigned an income tier.“Middle-income”adults are in families with adjusted family incomes that are between two-thirds and double the median adjusted family income for the full ATP at the time of the most recent annual

95、 profile survey.The median adjusted family income for the panel is roughly$71,800.Using this median income,the middle-income range is about$47,900 to$143,600.Lower-income families have adjusted incomes less than$47,900,and upper-income families have adjusted incomes greater than$143,600(all figures

96、expressed in 2022 dollars and scaled to a household size of three).If a panelist did not provide their income and/or their household size,they are assigned“no answer”in the income tier variable.Two examples of how a given areas cost-of-living adjustment was calculated are as follows:The Anniston-Oxf

97、ord metropolitan area in Alabama is a relatively inexpensive area,with a price level that is 16.2%less than the national average.The San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley metropolitan 19 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org area in California is one of the most expensive areas,with a price level that is

98、 19.8%higher than the national average.Income in the sample is adjusted to make up for this difference.As a result,a family with an income of$41,900 in the Anniston-Oxford area is as well-off financially as a family of the same size with an income of$59,900 in San Francisco.A note about the Asian ad

99、ult sample This survey includes a total sample size of 651 Asian adults.The sample primarily includes English-speaking Asian adults and,therefore,may not be representative of the overall Asian adult population.Despite this limitation,it is important to report the views of Asian adults on the topics

100、in this study.As always,Asian adults responses are incorporated into the general population figures throughout this report.Pew Research Center,2024 20 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Appendix:Detailed chart and tables Majority of Americans have heard at least a little about Ozempic,Wegovy an
