Abstract

To inform health communication efforts for Latinx communities, we assessed health information seeking behaviors to media sources, healthcare providers, and family/friends among a purposive sample of Latinx adults in 2021 using recruitment quotas by ethnic origin and age. Participants ( N = 1,574) self-completed an online cross-sectional survey using their own digital devices. The survey assessed mental and physical health information scanning and seeking across Spanish-language, Latinx-tailored English-language, and general English-language media as the primary outcomes of interest and seeking to healthcare providers and family/friends. Logistic regression models generated predicted probabilities for all health information seeking outcomes, adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Overall, Latinx adults in the study sample were most likely to scan health information on TV and social media and seek health information on social/Internet-based media. In terms of language/cultural media usage, the highest probability was general-English media followed by Latinx-tailored and Spanish-language media. U.S.-born Latinx adults reported higher probabilities than foreign-born across all outcomes. In sum, Latinx populations, especially U.S.-born, are likely to consume high levels of diverse language/cultural media for health information. Social/Internet-based media and family/friends supersede healthcare providers as sources of health information, particularly for mental health content and among the foreign-born sub-sample. Scrutiny of how diverse language/cultural media disseminates information, decides what content to disseminate, and engages diverse audiences is needed to promote health equity.
美国拉美裔人口基于媒体的健康信息查询行为
为了给拉美裔社区的健康传播工作提供信息,我们在 2021 年对拉美裔成年人进行了有目的的抽样调查,根据种族和年龄设定了招募名额,评估了他们向媒体、医疗保健提供者和家人/朋友寻求健康信息的行为。参与者(1,574 人)使用自己的数字设备自行完成了一项在线横截面调查。该调查评估了心理和生理健康信息在西班牙语、拉丁裔定制英语和普通英语媒体上的扫描和寻求情况,并将其作为医疗保健提供者和家人/朋友感兴趣和寻求的主要结果。逻辑回归模型生成了所有健康信息寻求结果的预测概率,并对社会人口因素进行了调整。总体而言,研究样本中的拉丁裔成年人最有可能通过电视和社交媒体扫描健康信息,并通过社交/互联网媒体寻求健康信息。在语言/文化媒体使用方面,使用概率最高的是通用英语媒体,其次是拉丁裔定制媒体和西班牙语媒体。在所有结果中,在美国出生的拉丁裔成年人报告的概率都高于在外国出生的成年人。总之,拉美裔人群,尤其是在美国出生的拉美裔人群,可能会消费大量不同语言/文化的媒体来获取健康信息。作为健康信息的来源,社交/互联网媒体和家人/朋友的作用超过了医疗服务提供者,尤其是在心理健康内容方面,在外国出生的子样本中更是如此。为了促进健康公平,需要对不同语言/文化的媒体如何传播信息、决定传播哪些内容以及吸引不同受众的方式进行审查。
