8. Do you think that the incarceration of professional athletes who use steroids deters the use of steroids in high school athletes?

9. Would harsher punishments of professional athletes prevent the use of steroids in high school athletes?

10. Have you ever been educated in depth about the negative effects of steroids?

I just wanted to give you a little feedback on these three questions. For questions 8 and 9, I don't think a clear yes or no is always possible. I had to pick one that I leaned closer to, and would have definitely put a 'maybe' if it was an option. Also about question 9, I'm assuming "harsher punishments" means harsher than jail time. Is this correct?

And about question 10, this could lead to the statistics looking like something they're not. I would have to answer no for question 10. I was briefly educated (formally) in high school about steroids, but I can't say it was anything close to in depth. High school health classes skip over the basics of a lot of things but do not go in depth on anything. I know about steroids what I've learned in high school, and what I've picked up on my own (facts from newspaper articles, online, medical TV shows, etc). But again, I can't say I've studied it in depth.

What I'm trying to say it, people could answer the questions very anti-steroid but then be disregarded because they answer no to question 10. I'm sure this wasn't what you're looking to do, and I'm not sure this would even matter for what you're doing as a whole, I just wanted to give some constructive feedback.

Again, I'm not trying to be harsh or anything. I just wanted to give you some feedback in case it'll help.

For question 8, it's how you feel about it, so it's "in your opinion". I don't think it needs a "maybe" vote.

And for question 9, steroids aren't an illegal substance to consume, but using them in certain leagues will get you fined/suspended. Major League Baseball does a 50 game fine for a first offense (about 1/3 season), then a full year for a second and a ban for life for a third. Other leagues aren't nearly as strict (NFL is four games for a first offense, so about a quarter of a season), and some don't have steroid policies at all!

I don't feel that way about question 8. I feel that if you say yes or no it means 100% of the time. I don't think 100% of high school students feel them same way from professional athletes that are jailed.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't really like the last question either but my other group members pushed for it so majority wins. I'll be bringing its validity back up again, though.
