Abstract

Introduction: The majority of epidemiologic research on adolescent non-medical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use was conducted in the 1990s and early 2000s, indicating a need to update evidence for the modern era. We aim to understand the prevalence of AAS use among US adolescents and assess associations between AAS use, sports participation, other drug use, and injection drug use (IDU).

Methods: Using data from the 2017 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey, we estimated the prevalence of AAS use and tested for associations between AAS use, sports participation, and drug use, overall and by sex.

Results: The prevalence of AAS use was 2.98%. The prevalence among boys (3.46%) was higher than among girls (2.41%). AAS use was high among youth with lifetime heroin use (64.41%) and IDU (64.42%). There was no association between AAS and team sport participation (p=0.61).

Conclusions: Our results indicate that adolescent AAS use is an aspect of polysubstance use rather than a substance used solely for performance enhancement in sports. Research with adolescents should be mindful of the overlap of heroin and AAS use among youth with IDU.

青少年合成代谢-雄激素类固醇使用与其他药物使用、注射药物使用和团队运动参与相关。

大多数关于青少年非医学合成代谢雄激素类固醇(AAS)使用的流行病学研究是在20世纪90年代和21世纪初进行的，这表明需要更新现代证据。我们的目的是了解美国青少年使用AAS的流行程度，并评估AAS使用、体育参与、其他药物使用和注射药物使用(IDU)之间的关系。方法:使用2017年全国青少年风险行为调查的数据，我们估计了AAS使用的流行程度，并测试了AAS使用、体育参与和药物使用之间的关系，总体上和按性别分列。结果:AAS使用率为2.98%。男孩患病率(3.46%)高于女孩患病率(2.41%)。终生使用海洛因(64.41%)和IDU(64.42%)的青少年使用AAS的比例较高。AAS与团体运动参与无显著相关性(p=0.61)。结论:我们的研究结果表明青少年AAS的使用是多物质使用的一个方面，而不是仅仅用于提高运动成绩的物质。对青少年进行的研究应注意在使用IDU的青少年中海洛因和AAS的使用重叠。
