| Abstract |
Over 30,000 mpox cases were reported during the 2022 mpox outbreak with many cases occurring among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM). Decreases in U.S. mpox cases were likely accelerated by a combination of vaccination and modifications to sexual behaviors associated with mpox virus transmission. We assessed reports of sexual behavior change among participants receiving mpox vaccination in Washington, D.C. During August-October 2022, 711 adults aged ≥18 years receiving mpox vaccination at two public health clinics in Washington, D.C. completed a self-administered questionnaire that asked whether sexual behaviors changed since learning about mpox. We calculated the frequency and percentages of participants reporting an increase, decrease or no change in four of these behaviors by demographic, clinical, and behavioral characteristics with 95% confidence intervals. Overall, between 46%-61% of participants reported a decrease in sexual behaviors associated with mpox virus transmission, 39%-54% reported no change in these behaviors, and < 1% reported an increase. Approximately 61% reported decreases in one-time sexual encounters (95% CI: 56.8%-64.7%), 54.3% reduced numbers of sex partners (95%CI: 50.4%-58.0%), 53.4% decreased sex via a dating app or sex venue (95%CI: 49.7%-58.0%) and 45.6% reported less group sex (95% CI: 40.4%-50.9%). Reported decreases in these behaviors were higher for MSM than women; in non-Hispanic Black than non-Hispanic White participants; and in participants with HIV than participants without HIV. Most participants receiving mpox vaccination reported decreasing sexual behaviors associated with mpox virus transmission, including groups disproportionately affected by the outbreak. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 November 2023.
All research outputs
#3,205,483
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Sexually Transmitted Diseases
#299
of 2,813 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,108
of 356,490 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Sexually Transmitted Diseases
#3
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,813 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 356,490 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
