Steroid Research

Hi all,

In a few days I am hoping to post a link to a research study I'm working and I wanted to introduce myself first. I've been working with a research team at Touro University for the past year and we're conducting a survey to learn more about people's exercise habits, supplement and steroid use. The research should debunk some popular exercise and performance enhancement myths -- and hopefully teach us a lot about current fitness and steroid-use trends.

I know I'm new to the board, but we've had a good reception most places after we've chatted with board members for a bit, so feel free to ask any questions you may have and I can also post some links to the threads we have going on other sites if anyone is interested.

Thanks!
-Mike

The thread is pretty quiet, so I'll go ahead and post the link.

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

Only about a week left, so I wanted to give this another bump. Trying to get a strong, final push!

Thanks!

Hi all,

Our research advisor wants us to continue collecting data for an extra month, so we're keeping this up a bit longer. We currently have almost 1,700 surveys taken and 754 AAS users (400 of those have completed the survey completely). Our goal is to get 500 complete AAS surveys, so 100 more!

Take a look if you haven't already: http://www.surveymonkey.com/touroexerciseresearch

Thanks again!

Mike, I personally would never put that crap in my body, but why would someone tell you they are comitting a crime? Isn't AAS a felony in USA?

Yeah, using AAS is a crime in the US, but the survey is anonymous (and really, online surveys are the way researchers collect this type of data these days). There's absolutely no way for us to track the surveys back to an individual, but I understand if you aren't comfortable filling this out.

Thanks to those of you that have helped ... about 420 so far.

Thanks!

Alright everyone ... it looks like this will really (hopefully) be the final week we'll be collecting data! We are up to 480 complete AAS surveys and over 2,100 total surveys taken. We are stopping data collection once we reach 500 AAS surveys, so we're hoping that will happen within the next day or two.

Thanks again for all the help!
