In this article, we investigate young people's trust in online sexual health resources. Analyzing interviews with 37 young people in Australia using Irwin and Michael's account of science-society relations and Warner's conceptualization of "publics," we explore the processes by which they assess the credibility of online sexual health information. We suggest that when seeking medical information, young people opt for traditionally authoritative online sources that purport to offer "facts." By contrast, when seeking information about relationships or sexual practices, participants indicated a preference for websites presenting "experiences" rather than or as well as "facts." Regardless of content, however, our participants approached online sexual health information skeptically and used various techniques to appraise its quality and trustworthiness. We argue that these young people are productively understood as a skeptical public of sexual health. We conclude by exploring the implications of our analysis for the provision of online sexual health information.
在本文中，我们研究了年轻人对在线性健康资源的信任。通过对澳大利亚 37 名年轻人的访谈，我们利用 Irwin 和 Michael 对科学与社会关系的描述以及 Warner 对“公众”的概念化，探讨了他们评估在线性健康信息可信度的过程。我们认为，年轻人在寻求医学信息时，倾向于选择传统上有权威性、声称提供“事实”的在线资源。相比之下，当年轻人寻求有关人际关系或性实践的信息时，他们表示更倾向于提供“经验”的网站，而不是或除了“事实”。然而，无论内容如何，我们的参与者都对在线性健康信息持怀疑态度，并使用各种技术来评估其质量和可信度。我们认为，这些年轻人可以被理解为对性健康持怀疑态度的公众。最后，我们探讨了我们的分析对在线性健康信息提供的影响。
