Researchers from Harvard in 2019 surveyed online dating users and non dating app users in the United States using Amazon's platform to evaluate if online dating usage was associated with risky image enhancing behaviors. 33% of the men in their survey reported using online dating. <u>'''36.4% of male online daters reported using Anabolic Steroids (AS)'''</u>, as opposed to only 3.8% of non online dating men who reported AS use. | |||
The portion of those surveyed who identified as "African-American" were the most likely to use AS (Odds-ratio of 3.665) followed closely by Hispanics (OR 3.413) compared to Whites. The overall odds-ratio of a dating app user to use AS compared to a non dating app user was 26.926. | The portion of those surveyed who identified as "African-American" were the most likely to use AS (Odds-ratio of 3.665) followed closely by Hispanics (OR 3.413) compared to Whites.
