COVID-19 Knowledge Among Sexual and Gender Minority Adults in New York City.
Purpose: This study describes sources of COVID-19 vaccine information and COVID-19 knowledge among sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults in New York City (NYC). Methods: A sample of 986 SGM adults in NYC completed an online survey between June 25 and December 1, 2021. Participants indicated their top three sources of COVID-19 vaccine information from a list of 10 options. Participants were also categorized into low or high COVID-19 knowledge using a 14-item questionnaire. We described knowledge sources, then conducted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression to identify characteristics associated with greater knowledge. Results: The mean age of participants was 29 years (range 18-68 years). Only 12.5% identified their health care provider as a main COVID-19 vaccine information source. Social media (54.9%) and TV news channels (51.4%) were most reported as a main COVID-19 vaccine information source. COVID-19 vaccine knowledge was moderate, with four of eight questions showing correct responses in approximately 70% or more participants. In the multivariable logistic regression model, having at least some college education (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55-3.52), attaining a master's degree (aOR: 3.28, 95% CI: 1.93-5.57), reporting a household income of $25,000-$49,999 per year (aOR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.14-2.46), and having health insurance (aOR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.51-2.96) were significantly associated with high COVID-19 knowledge. Conclusion: Our sample demonstrated high levels of COVID-19 knowledge, particularly among educated individuals and those with health insurance. Primary access to health information was through social media and TV news channels.

期刊介绍:
LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
