This study assessed the perceived importance of five health issues for gay and bisexual men (N = 660) using time-space sampling in gay bars/clubs and bathhouses in New York City: "HIV & STDs," "Drugs & Alcohol," "Body Image," "Mental Health," and "Smoking." This study compared ratings based on demographic differences, recent substance use, recent sexual risk behavior, and whether or not participants owned a smart device (e.g., "smart" phone, iPad, iPod touch). Contrary to research indicating that gay and bisexual men may be experiencing HIV prevention fatigue, this study identified that HIV and STIs were perceived as most important. Drugs and alcohol and mental health were also rated high, suggesting that providers may be well served to include mental health and drugs and alcohol as part of their comprehensive approach to HIV prevention. A majority of participants (72%) owned a smart device. Smart device owners rated health issues similarly to those who did not, suggesting that such devices may be a useful platform to reach gay and bisexual men for health education and prevention.
本研究使用时间-空间抽样方法，评估了五种健康问题对男同性恋和双性恋者（N=660）的重要性，这些健康问题包括：“HIV 和 STDs”、“药物和酒精”、“身体形象”、“心理健康”和“吸烟”。本研究比较了基于人口统计学差异、最近的物质使用、最近的性风险行为以及参与者是否拥有智能设备（如智能手机、iPad、iPod touch）的评分。与表明男同性恋和双性恋者可能正在经历 HIV 预防疲劳的研究相反，本研究发现 HIV 和性传播感染被认为是最重要的。药物和酒精以及心理健康也被评为高度重要，这表明提供者可能会很好地将心理健康和药物及酒精纳入他们的 HIV 预防综合方法中。大多数参与者（72%）拥有智能设备。智能设备所有者对健康问题的评价与没有智能设备的参与者相似，这表明这些设备可能是向男同性恋和双性恋者提供健康教育和预防的有用平台。
