Hey Bros,
As some of you know, I am a forensic psychologist. We have all experienced the effects of societal views on AAS use. It is stigmatizing and has what I would consider unfair legal ramifications. The current psychological research and literature on the topic is skewed and bias. Quantities for personal use as well as the addictive potential and resulting scheduling are not factual.
I would like to do my part in changing this and need others help (actually everyones). I am looking to publish along with 2 colleges (a psychiatrist and a lawyer) a different view that is more reality based. Between the 3 of us we have already obtained 163 self report surveys. To obtain the statistic power necessary we need a minimum of 500 subjects. This is where your cooperation comes in.
The study would require filling out a web based survey on an independent page. No identifying data (name, residence, etc.) would be asked or should be given with the expectation of age, gender, level of education and SES. This is in no way tied to any law enforcement.
What I can offer in return. 1) Published norms of personal use printed in a well respected journal (I have ties to what is considered the gold standard journal in the area this would fall under). This will benefit you, should you get popped (e.g. 100 d-bol is not an excessive amount and should not be used as the basis for intent to distribute, etc.). 2) AAS use does not fit the current models of addiction and is improperly scheduled. I have a hypothesis on this and would rather not disclose it at this point until findings are published. What I can say is with the 163 subjects already obtained it fits very nicely. 3) Not to be the bad guy but some do develop a problem and the current treatment modalities will be less then effective. This will cause further problems down the road and can serve to help those who need it.
Understandably, many will be nervous. What I would like to understand is how many would be wiling to participate? Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

) and will get back to everyone. Hopefully we will all benefit from this.
