  • Title: Anabolic-androgenic steroids: use and abuse in pediatric patients.
    Author: Kerr JM, Congeni JA.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2007 Aug; 54(4):771-85, xii. PubMed ID: 17723876.
    Abstract:
    The "win at all costs" mentality fuels athletes to seek performance-enhancing substances, such as anabolic-androgenic steroids, to gain an advantage over their opponents. Nonathletes espouse this same attitude to "win" the battle of attractiveness. An enhanced understanding of anabolic-androgenic steroids and the motivations behind their abuse will arm pediatricians with the ability to engage their patients in a balanced discussion of the benefits and costly risks of anabolic-androgenic steroids and successfully deter further use.
