Women wanted for research (online survey)

[h_Sch_researcher_UQ]

Hi all! I’m a PhD student working with @MairUnderwood(Researcher) , and Millard has kindly given me permission to post here.

We’re currently running a study on women’s experiences with lifting and enhancement - from bodybuilders to strength athletes to regular gym-goers. We’re especially interested in hearing lived experience of women who have used anabolic steroids and/or other kinds of performance and image-enhancing drugs.

The study involves completing an online survey which will ask you questions about your experiences with PIEDs, body image, social experiences and your training/sporting history.

Why I’m here: my work is about furthering our understanding of women’s experiences with anabolic steroids and other PIEDs and advocating for better harm-reduction and support tools that reflect women’s needs. Your stories and experiences are essential in this process.

What’s involved in participation?

• A 30-minute anonymous online survey (you can pause and return anytime)
• 100% confidential — no names, no tracking

Interested? Please click this link to access the survey: Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management

We’d be really grateful if you could pass this on to any other women lifters you know. We’re also keen to include women who train regularly (4+ times a week) but haven’t used PIEDs (they can do their own version of the survey using the same link as above).

Thank you so much for your time
Hannah

Welcome.

Good luck with your project. You've come to the right place. The more research that's done in this field the better it'll be for all of us.

Welcome to MESO!

 

[MESO-Rx Administrator]

I’d like to take a moment to show support for Hannah, a PhD student working with @MairUnderwood(Researcher). MESO members already know Mair as a respected researcher who has written several really cool articles for MESO and has interacted with members in the MESO community. So obviously, we are happy to invite Hannah to recruit members for her study on women’s experiences with lifting and enhancement.

Women involved in the bodybuilding subculture, especially those involved with PIEDs, are underrepresented. We need more projects like this to help advance harm-reduction for women.

If you’re eligible, please consider supporting this goal by completing the survey. And if you know other women lifters, please share the link with them.

Thank you to Hannah and Mair for the work they are doing, and also to our community members who support them by participating!

Very interesting topic. I will see if my wife will be willing to participate.

Forwarded to the missus.

Also, didn't realize @MairUnderwood(Researcher) had an account here. I've read a few of her papers, specifically the one about insulin use comes to mind.

Hi all. Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported or shared this so far — really appreciate it.
We’re starting to see more responses come in, which is amazing.
It’s been great to see how much interest and genuine support there is for furthering research on women’s experiences in this space.
We’ll be wrapping up data collection in the next few weeks, so if you haven’t had a chance to take part yet (or know other women who might want to share their experience) please consider passing it on. Every voice helps push this conversation forward!
