Participate in Important Anonymous Research

[MitchellStrong]

I wanted to let the members here know about an important research project being conducted by the Center of Alcohol Studies at Rutgers University. This is a group of researchers interested in the role of performance-enhancing drugs (steroidal and nonsteroidal anabolics, ergogenics, thermogenics, anorexigents, and ancillary drugs) as well as exercise routine and diet, in the lives of bodybuilders, powerlifters and other people who seriously train. There currently is a lack of objective information about both the benefits and costs of performance enhancers and much of the other stuff we talk about here.

The Rutgers group has already completed a number of studies which dispel some of the myths about anabolics, and the research group is led by someone who is well-known and respected on a discussion forum similar to this one. The new study is a fairly brief (20-30 minutes), but comprehensive survey of training practices, anabolic/ergogenic use, and psychological factors, that can be answered by athletes over the web. The study has been approved by the Rutgers University Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects. It is confidential. No names, addresses or other identifying information about the respondent will be taken.

Let’s make sure Elite Fitness is well represented in this research group’s work. Thanks for taking the time to participate.

I expect every EF member to participate in this and help my friends at Rutgers. you can't bitch and moan about how stupid the media and the public are and then do nothing to change things
