Summary

This study tests whether a counseling program tailored to a person's readiness to change can help gym-goers reduce or stop using anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS). Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the tailored counseling or standard health education. The goal is to see if the personalized approach leads to greater reductions in steroid use and moves people toward drug-free training.
