Use of anabolic-androgenic steroids is a public health concern for adolescent boys. This study examined bullying based on being labeled gay/bisexual and steroid use among US adolescent boys, including sexual orientation disparities. Data from 2660 boys from the 2015 Youth Behavior Risk Survey were used. Among heterosexual boys, steroid use was higher among those who reported being bullied due to being labeled gay or bisexual. No such relationship existed among non-heterosexual boys. The results speak to the need to address issues of masculinity in clinical work with boys and young men.
使用合成代谢雄激素类固醇是青少年男孩的公共健康关注点。本研究调查了美国青少年男孩中基于被贴上同性恋/双性恋标签和使用类固醇的欺凌行为，包括性取向差异。该研究使用了 2015 年青少年行为风险调查中 2660 名男孩的数据。在异性恋男孩中，因被贴上同性恋或双性恋标签而遭受欺凌的男孩中，使用类固醇的比例更高。而在非同性恋男孩中则不存在这种关系。研究结果表明，在对男孩和年轻男性进行临床治疗时，需要解决男子气概问题。
