Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids (AAS) in Gyms: A Qualitative Look at Jordanian Users

The use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) remains a prevalent issue, particularly among athletes and bodybuilders. This study delves into the motives, perceptions, and safety concerns surrounding AAS use among gym users in Jordan. The research employs a qualitative approach to explore the complex motivations behind AAS use and the users' understanding of the associated risks.
