| مستخلص: | The characteristics of men who use direct-to-consumer (DTC) men's health services are not well understood. We conducted an online survey of adult men via ResearchMatch, assessing sociodemographic data, health behaviors, and concern for low testosterone and infertility. Logistic regression estimated the association between participant characteristics and familiarity with and reported use of DTC services such as Hims® and Roman®. Among 1276 men surveyed, 62.2% were concerned about low testosterone. While almost half (48.5%) were familiar with men's DTC health services, only 37 (2.9%) reported using these services. On multivariable analysis, men who used DTC men's health services were more likely to be younger (age 18-39: odds ratio [OR] 2.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-8.38, p = 0.04; age 40-59: OR 3.26, CI 1.17-9.10, p = 0.02; referent age ≥60), have annual income between $75k and $100k (OR 5.25, CI 1.39-19.87.45, p = 0.02), and be concerned about low testosterone (OR 3.81, CI 1.46-9.96, p = 0.01). In conclusion, younger men and those with mid-range incomes were more likely to use online DTC men's health services compared to older or wealthier men. Likewise, men with concerns about low testosterone were more likely to use DTC services, but other health-conscious behaviors and frequency of doctor visits did not predict use. (© 2022.
