本研究调查了男男性接触者约会网站和应用程序的使用频率，以了解亚群体在使用上的差异。分析了基于网络的调查数据(N=3105)，以评估约会网站和应用程序的使用情况。在本样本中，超过一半(55.7%)的MSM是约会网站和应用程序的经常用户。三分之二(66.7%)的经常吸毒者仅在过去12个月内有过临时伴侣，并报告在过去12个月中临时性伴的平均数量(MDN=5.0)高于从未使用过的(MDN=0.0；chi(2)(2)=734.94，adj。P<；.001)。最常使用的约会网站或应用程序是Grindr，60.2%的样本报告说有或经常使用。Adam4Adam(23.5%)、Jack‘d(18.9%)和Sruff(18.7%)也是使用频率较高的药物。约会网站和应用程序可能是向不同的MSM群体传递艾滋病毒预防信息的有效渠道。
This study explored the frequency of dating website and app usage among MSM to understand sub-group differences in use. Web-based survey data (N = 3105) were analyzed to assess the use of dating websites and apps. More than half (55.7%) of MSM in this sample were frequent users of dating websites and apps. Two-thirds (66.7%) of frequent users had casual partners only in the past 12 months and reported a high average number of casual sexual partners in the past 12 months (Mdn = 5.0) compared to never users (Mdn = 0.0; chi (2)(2) = 734.94, adj. p < .001). The most frequently used dating website or app was Grindr, with 60.2% of the sample reporting some or frequent use. Adam4Adam (23.5%), Jack'd (18.9%) and Scruff (18.7%) were also frequently used. Dating websites and apps may be effective channels to reach a diverse group of MSM with HIV prevention messages.
