A new clinic for steroid users has convinced almost 30% of people accessing its services to stop injecting.
Its aim is to persuade people not to inject steroids by providing health education packs about the risks, as well as dietary and training regimes to safely gain the body image they are after.
Out of 72 steroid injectors who used the Tuesday evening clinic during the first 10 weeks of opening, 19 - or 27% - decided to leave without the special needle equipment after receiving specialist advice.
"Working with the manufacturers of needle exchange equipment we came up with a specific pack for people who use performance and image-enhancing drugs."
Sounds to me like a third of the clients were too embarassed to get their free injection pack after being lectured to :-(
