In some countries, AAS use without a prescription and AAS dealing are illegal, and in most societies AAS use is socially condemned. AAS might therefore fit into a wider syndrome of illicit drug use and problem behaviors. AAS dealing is prohibited in Norway, and a law against nonmedical AAS use has been suggested by the government. Positive correlations with illicit drug use have been one of the most consistent relationships across studies,[6] but the cooccurrence of delinquency and problem-type behavior (e.g., early sexual debut, conduct problems) have also been reported in those studies addressing this issue.[4] These results imply that we do not know whether it is illicit drug use, other types of conduct problems, or the whole syndrome of problem behavior that is decisive for AAS use.
AAS users included in the convenience samples that dominate the AAS literature often report a history of longstanding AAS misuse. However, we do not presently have data concerning the change and stability of AAS use in community samples. Only a small percentage of nonmedical AAS are obtained through legitimate channels such as physicians. As for most other illegal drugs, there are reasons to believe that novice users are offered the drug from a supplier.[1] Although most offers are tuned down, those offered the drug are at particular risk of using it. Apart from the physical side effects, there are concerns that AAS use may alter mood and behavior, at least in some individuals. AAS users have been found to have increased levels of aggression,[1] mania,[2] and eating disturbances.[4] Depression and suicidal behaviors, often following AAS withdrawal, have also been reported.[1] Concern has also been raised about the possibility of AAS serving as a gateway drug for illicit drug use in otherwise low-risk populations.[13]
To address some of the gaps that exist in the current literature, a random sample of Norwegian adolescents was followed prospectively over 5 yr into early adulthood to 1) discern potential risk factors for later AAS use and for being offered AAS, 2) assess change and stability in AAS use, and 3) investigate whether AAS use predicts later mental health problems (conduct problems, depression, attempted suicide, eating problems, frequent alcohol intoxication, cannabis use, and use of hard drugs) when initial levels of such problems are controlled
