Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) users on AAS use: Negative effects, ‘code of silence’, and implications for forensic and medical professionals






Hello Everyone!


I hope all is well


Another new post on the blog, this time it is on my second academic paper.


Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in a locale in the Northeast of England 
with 24 AAS users, the article offers an account of the negatives aspects of AAS as 
put forwards by users (acne, abscess, and mood alterations), and highlights the 
‘code of silence’ that exists around AAS use. This ‘code’ makes AAS users a ‘hard-to-reach’ 
group for medical professionals. By listening to the participants' perspectives, forensic 
and medical professionals can be better informed towards monitoring and 
reducing harms from AAS.


Hope you enjoy reading it
