Doping among high school students in Uppsala, Sweden: A presentation of the attitudes, distribution, side effects, and extent of use

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the extent of doping drug use among adolescents in Uppsala, Sweden, and to analyse the main reasons for the use. An anonymous multiple-choice questionnaire was distributed among pupils in the first and the third grades at high school; 2,742 pupils participated in the study. The results showed that 2.7% of the male and 0.4% of the female adolescents had used doping drugs at some time in their life. However, knowledge of how to get doping drugs far exceeded use. The main re… Show more

“…It can be noted that this data is encouraging, and the percentage of doping is negligible in comparison with similar studies (Rachon, et al, 2006;Kokkevi, et al, 2008;Erhnborg, & Rosen, 2009). Given that this is high school students, the figure of 10% who consumed doping is somewhat expected, if we take into account the environment protection, social maturation, the desire to prove themselves in the social environment, the improvement of physical appearance and improvement of sport performances (Kindlundh, et al , 1998). However, the problem is the 10% of those who have already consumed an illicit substance, probably (not) aware of the potential consequences due to lack of information about the harmful effects of doping, More than half of the respondents (72%) had a negative attitude about the possible use of banned substances to achieve personal results and 28% of them supported the use of banned substances.…”

“…Може се констатовати да је овај податак охрабрујући, а процент оних који су узимали забрањене супстанце је занемарљив у поређењу са сличним истраживањима (Rachoń, et al, 2006;Kokkevi, et al, 2008;Erhnborg, & Rosen, 2009). С обзиром да се ради о средњошколцима, податак од 10% који су конзумирали допинг је помало и очекиван, ако се узме у обзир окружење средине, социјално сазријевање, жеља за доказивањем у средини, побољшње физичког изгледа и побољшање спортских перформанси (Kindlundh, et al, 1998). Међутим, проблем представља и оних 10% који су већ конзумирали неку недозвољену супстанцу, вјероватно (не) свјесни евентуалних посљедица усљед недовољне информисаности о штетном дјеловању допинга, (Parssinen, & Sepapala, 2002;Payne, et al, 2004;Hartgens, & Kuipers, 2004; Dhar, et al, 2006;Hasson, et al, 2009).…”
