Reflections on the use of participatory mapping to study everyday health information seeking by LGBTQ youth

Abstract

ABSTRACT Participatory mapping is a promising data collection method for use in information behavior (IB) research. It provides an opportunity for participants to think spatially and critically about their community‐based information practices. This methodology paper provides an example and offers some critical insights into the use and value of participatory mapping. We present our experiences using this method in a study of community‐based health information seeking by LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) youth.
