Understanding tobacco use amongst sexual minority young adults in Lima, Peru

Tobacco use tends to be higher among young adults who are sexually minority populations. However, data is not usually collected on people's sexual orientation / gender identity, so little is known about tobacco use behavior in young adults who are sexual minorities in Peru. Therefore, this project seeks to use the Photovoice methodology to collect data on the consumption and desire to use tobacco of young sexual minorities in Lima, Peru. In particular, it seeks to compare the experiences of young people of high and low socioeconomic status. For this, the participants will be asked to describe their experiences related to smoking tobacco and the desire to consume it through photos, audio recordings and / or text, which will be sent daily for one week. This will allow us to begin to understand the subjective experience of young sexual minorities who use tobacco in Lima.
