| Summary: | In brief We performed a retrospective review to determine the efficacy of the clinic we established to diminish health problems among athletes who used or were considering using anabolic-androgenic steroids. The clinic evaluated 18 patients by standard questionnaire, history, physical exam, and laboratory tests. Intervention included counseling, explaining any evident steroid-health connections to the patient, medical referral, and treatment of detectable problems. The patients who had considered steroid use remained steroid-free, and the patients who had follow-up visits minimized their steroid use and exhibited fewer health problems. |
