First Nordic Conference on Abuse
of Anabolic Steroids and Anti-
Doping Work
Första Nordiska Konferensen om
Missbruk av Anabola Androgena
Steroider och Antidopingarbete
September 20–21, 2007 in Uppsala
Society´s efforts to combat the abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids have increased,
particularly in the last year due to some tragic events, in which abusers of these agents
were involved.
In Sweden there is a small number of groups working with general counselling and care
of individuals with these abuse problems, and with different kinds of symptoms. Some
of these groups are engaged in research and development in the field. The aim is partly
to improve the possibilities to detect abusers of anabolic androgenic steroids and other
hormonal drugs among patients that seek help for a variety of symptoms. The work is also
aimed to map the abuse and its dimensions, where it takes place, and how to introduce
preventive measures.
The Swedish network for work against anabolic steroid abuse in the society invites you
to ”First Nordic Conference on Abuse of Anabolic Steroids and Anti-Doping Work” which
will take place in Uppsala, September 20–21, 2007. At the conference there will be lectures
on the medical risks of abuse and its effects, studies on abuse in certain societal environments,
national strategies against abuse of anabolic androgenic steroids as presented
from the government and governmental agencies, etc.
The aim of the conference is to update the knowledge about the abuse of anabolic
steroids, and communicate this information to those who are directly or indirectly concerned
by the problems. The target groups include schools, governmental agencies, the health
care system, politicians, etc.
