"In 2024, lifetime prevalence of anabolic steroid use was 1.4% or lower in all grades. In general, lifetime, past 12-month, and past 30-day use have decreased, sometimes unevenly, since highs in the early 2000s.
"Anabolic steroids, sometimes used for muscle development including in body building, were rendered illegal to purchase or sell without a prescription in the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990. Prevalence of use fell among 12th graders for a couple of years thereafter, but then increased some. Use for all grades peaked around 2002 and have since declined substantially."
