We sought to understand technology-based communication regarding mpox (monkeypox) among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) during the global outbreak in 2022. Forty-four GBMSM (M = 25.3 years, 68.2% cisgender, 43.2% non-White) living in the United States participated. From May 2022 to August 2022, all text data related to mpox (174 instances) were downloaded from the smartphones of GBMSM. Text data and smartphone app usage were analyzed. Content analysis revealed 10 text-based themes and 7 app categories. GBMSM primarily used search and browser, texting, and gay dating apps to share vaccine updates, seek mpox vaccination, find general mpox information, share mpox information with other GBMSM, and discuss links between mpox and gay culture. Data visualizations revealed that changes in communication themes and app usage were responsive to major milestones in the mpox outbreak. GBMSM used apps to facilitate a community-driven mpox response.
我们试图了解 2022 年全球猴痘(猴痘)爆发期间男同性恋者、双性恋者和其他与男性发生性关系者(GBMSM)之间基于技术的沟通。44 名居住在美国的 GBMSM(M=25.3 岁,68.2%顺性别,43.2%非白人)参与了研究。从 2022 年 5 月到 2022 年 8 月,从 GBMSM 的智能手机中下载了与猴痘(174 个实例)相关的所有文本数据。对文本数据和智能手机应用程序使用情况进行了分析。内容分析揭示了 10 个基于文本的主题和 7 个应用程序类别。GBMSM 主要使用搜索和浏览器、短信和同性恋约会应用程序来分享疫苗更新、寻求猴痘疫苗接种、查找一般猴痘信息、与其他 GBMSM 分享猴痘信息以及讨论猴痘与同性恋文化之间的联系。数据可视化显示,沟通主题和应用程序使用的变化对猴痘爆发的主要里程碑做出了响应。GBMSM 使用应用程序促进了社区驱动的猴痘应对。
