Abstract

The current study examines the experiences of gay, bisexual, two-spirit and other men who have sex with men (GB2M) who use networking applications and their engagements with online sexual health outreach workers disseminating healthcare information through these digital spaces. The iCruise study was a longitudinal mixed-methods study across Ontario, Canada which collected data on online sexual health information seeking behaviors. Results offer insight into differences in information seeking behaviors among diverse groups of queer men. Implications for the dissemination of health information based on the results of information seeking patterns is discussed as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
