Abstract
Historically, LGBTQ+ individuals face disproportionate victimization due to personally identifiable data (PID) breaches. Sharing PID on social media and with medical providers raises privacy concerns. This study examines the relationship between gender, sexual orientation (SO), and anxiety, moderated by PID disclosure. Results indicate gender and SO predict anxiety, with social media disclosure moderating anxiety for men and heterosexuals. LGBTQ+ individuals experience elevated anxiety regardless of PID sharing comfort. Gender, SO, and PID sharing with providers also moderate anxiety, particularly for LGBTQ+ males. These findings inform digital interventions and prompt further research on strategies to enhance PID sharing confidence with providers.
