Anabolic Steroid Use by Students, 1999:
Monitoring the Future Study
(Table from NIDA RESEARCH)
Ever Used Used in Past Year Used in Past Month ** The MTF survey is conducted by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research and is funded by National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Institutes of Health. The survey has tracked 12th graders' illicit drug use and related attitudes since 1975; in 1991, 8th and 10th graders were added to the study. For the 1999 study, 49,866 students were surveyed from a representative sample of 422 public and private schools nationwide.
** "Lifetime" or "ever used" refers to use at least once during a respondent's lifetime. "Past year" refers to an individual's drug use at least once during the year preceding their response to the survey. "Past month" refers to an individual's drug use at least once during the month preceding their response to the survey.
In 1991, approximately 2.0 % of 8th graders have taken ababolic steroids. In 1999, it's up to 2.7 %. These are frightening statistics to think students at the ages of 12-13 are taking anabolic steroids.
