This study compared the criminological theories of peer association and low self-control and its effect on adolescent steroid use. The data for this study comes from the 12th grade survey of the 2009 Monitoring the Future Project Form 6. The purpose of theMonitoring the Future Project (MTF) is to understand changes in values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of the American youth. The study found that peer association, low self-control and the sex of the adolescent are all significant predictors of adolescent steroid use.
