What anabolic–androgenic steroids reveal about the limits of current harm reduction models
Abstract Background Harm reduction has largely been shaped by responses to psychoactive drug use where the most urgent harms are acute. These models focus on overdose, blood‐borne viruses, and rapid‐onset toxicity related harms. When applied wholesale to anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS), they obscure the distinctive pharmacology, consumer typologies,
