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; χ (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.
本研究探讨了男男性行为者(MSM)使用约会网站和应用程序的频率,以了解使用中的亚组差异。对基于网络的调查数据(N=3105)进行了分析,以评估约会网站和应用程序的使用情况。在该样本中,超过一半(55.7%)的 MSM 是约会网站和应用程序的频繁使用者。三分之二(66.7%)的频繁使用者在过去 12 个月中只有偶然伴侣,并且报告过去 12 个月中偶然性伴侣的平均数量较高(Mdn=5.0),与从不使用者相比(Mdn=0.0;χ(2)=734.94,调整后 p<.001)。最常使用的约会网站或应用程序是 Grindr,有 60.2%的样本报告了一些或频繁使用。Adam4Adam(23.5%)、Jack'd(18.9%)和 Scruff(18.7%)也经常被使用。约会网站和应用程序可能是向具有 HIV 预防信息的不同 MSM 群体传播的有效渠道。
