Descriptive statistics based on sexual orientation and willingness to use mHealth tools for pandemic-related digital screening and tracking (“If these options were available to you, how likely would you be to participate in them?”; N=1928). Proportions may not sum to 1, and percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding. Subcategories (eg, sexual orientation subcategories) may not sum to 1928 due to missing data. Sexual orientation was significantly associated with willingness to install “an app on your phone that tracks your location and sends push notifications if you might have been exposed to COVID-19”; the pattern of results indicates that sexual minority adults reported being more likely to install such an app than heterosexual adults. Additionally, sexual orientation was also significantly associated with willingness to “use a website to log your symptoms and location and get recommendations about COVID-19”; the pattern of findings indicates that sexual minority adults reported being more likely to use such a website than heterosexual adults.
