The underground abuse of growth hormone (GH) among young athletes presents a challenge to medical professionals. Health care professionals providing knowledgeable guidance regarding healthy ways to improve performance and appearance, as well as accurate information regarding substances' perceived benefits, risks, and unknown qualities, is invaluable to the young athlete. Further research focused on the profile and motivation of young people who use GH is essential to understanding and intervening better with those who use these substances.
