Peer Referral Pathways and 6-Month Outcomes in a Tirzepatide-Supported Digital Weight Loss Service: Retrospective Cohort Study
Journal of Medical Internet Research ·
In a retrospective analysis of 34,449 adults using an unsubsidized, tirzepatide-supported digital weight loss service (DWLS) in Australia, patients entering via peer referral showed higher 6-month program adherence and greater percentage weight loss than propensity score–matched nonreferred patients, suggesting that peer referral pathways may support retention and effectiveness in medicated obesity care.
