Examining Athletes' Attitudes toward Using Anabolic Steroids and Their Knowledge of the Possible Effects.

Anshel, Mark H.; Russell, Kenneth G.

Journal of Drug Education, v27 n2 p121-45 1997

Examined the relationships between athletes' (N=291) knowledge about the long-term effects of anabolic steroids and their attitudes toward this type of drug. Results show low correlation between greater knowledge and attitudes about the use of steroids in sports, suggesting that drug education programs regarding steroids may have limited value. (RJM)
