Objective:
This research aimed to understand the varying needs of diverse gay and bisexual men (GBM) in relation to online sexual health information-seeking dependent upon differing social sociodemographic variables and geographic location.
Methods:
A total of 1802 GBM in Ontario participated in this study. Multivariable regressions were conducted to analyze differences in information-seeking based on ethnicity group, HIV status, recent sexual behavior and regionality (urban and rural location).
Results:
There were significant differences in online sexual health information-seeking content based on these demographic variables.
Conclusions:
Implications for sexual health outreach and service provision for diverse GBM are discussed as well.
