Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This study investigates attitudes toward androgenic anabolic steroids among male adolescents who have used anabolics compared with those who have not. A cross-sectional survey was performed in the year 2000 in all secondary schools in the county of Halland on the west coast of Sweden. An anonymous multiple-choice questionnaire was distributed to all classes with 14-, 16-, and 18-year-old male adolescents. The response rate was 92.7% (n = 4049). Those who admitted having used androgenic anabolic steroids differed in several ways from those who had not. Fewer believed androgenic anabolic steroids to be harmful (OR = 0.15, 95% CI 0.080.30) and more believed that girls preferred boys with large muscles (OR = 6.1, 95% CI 3.411.0). They trained more often at gyms (OR = 5.6, 95% CI 3.010.6), drank more alcohol (OR = 4.2, 95% CI 2.09.1), and had used narcotic drugs more often (OR = 15.3, 95% CI 8.527.5) than the other male adolescents. More immigrants than native-born adolescents had used anabolics (OR = 4.2, 95% CI 2.27.9). Attitudes toward anabolics differ between users and nonusers. These aspects may be beneficial to focus on as one part of a more complex intervention program in order to change these attitudes and decrease the misuse of androgenic anabolic steroids.
