Main Article Content
Abstract
This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the knowledge and practice toward anabolic-androgenic steroid
(AAS) use among 337 students of King Abdul-Aziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A digital questionnaire
with 36 questions was used during the study. Data entry and analysis were carried out using Statistical Package
for Social Sciences version 22.0 Statistical software. The study demonstrated a significant gap in the beliefs,
knowledge, and awareness among the participants. The majority exhibited a low level of knowledge about AAS.
This was indicative of the insufficient educational programs concerning the risks associated with AAS use. The
study recommended the implementation of an effective approach in universities to govern AAS
