The purpose of this study was to examine associations between contexts of app use (e.g. using apps when drinking) and condomless anal intercourse among a sample of MSM who use these apps. Methods: MSM (n = 174) in New York City were recruited through Grindr, a geosocial-networking app popular among MSM, using broadcast advertisements asking MSM to complete an Internet-based survey about their app use and sexual behaviours. Log-binomial regression models were fit to assess the association between each of the six app-use contexts (e.g. using apps when lonely, when drinking) and engagement in condomless insertive and receptive anal intercourse with one or more partners in the past 3 months. Results: Engagement in condomless receptive and insertive anal intercourse with one or more partners in the preceding 3 months was common (39.7% and 43.1% respectively) and was associated with several app-use contexts. For example, significant associations (P &amp;lt; 0.05) were observed between alcohol and other drug use when using these apps and engagement in condomless receptive and insertive anal intercourse. Conclusion: Given that 57.5% of respondents had engaged in condomless anal intercourse in the preceding 3 months and the associations of app-use contexts with condomless sexual behaviours, these findings suggest that reductions in substance use may lead to safer sexual practices among MSM who use apps to meet sexual partners.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh16008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,6]],"date-time":"2016-10-06T20:01:11Z","timestamp":1475784071000},"page":"549-554","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Contextual factors in geosocial-networking smartphone application use and engagement in condomless anal intercourse among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men who use Grindr"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"William C.","family":"Goedel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of Population Health, School of Medicine, New York University, Spatial Epidemiology Lab, 227 East 30th Street, Cube 628A, New York, NY 10016, USA."},{"name":"BCollege of Global Public Health, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA."},{"name":"CDepartment of Sociology, College of Arts and Science, New York University, New York, NY 10003, USA."},{"name":"FCorresponding author.
