Pilot study reveals insider/outsider dynamics influence mental health information-seeking in Chinese LGBTQIA+ immigrants, suggesting cultural competency in resources.
This pilot study applies intersectionality and insider/outsider dynamics to examine mental health information‐seeking practices among Chinese LGBTQIA+ immigrants in the US. Through semi‐structured interviews and thematic analysis, the findings reveal that intersecting identities influence participants’ perceptions of insiders and outsiders when seeking mental health information. Participants further categorized insiders into social types based on behaviors, authority, and intimacy. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitate interaction among trusted insiders across geographic distances. This study advocates for the design of culturally competent mental health information resources that reflect intersecting identities and insider trust dynamics.
