Even with extensive assistance (which is way too expensive to widely deploy) outcomes are weak.

Last I checked, researchers in the specific area of high-touch weight interventions were excited that they finally had a tool that might more-than-barely work… in glp-1 agonists.

I didn’t mean to suggest that GLP-1s don’t count as assistance.

Informing people that they can avoid pregnancy and STDs if they’d just stop fucking each other doesn’t work at scale either.
