Quantitative analyses examined TPB constructs, HBM-related constructs, knowledge, and risk acceptance. Qualitative data comprised 542 open-ended responses on prevention preferences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Subjective norms and lower perceived behavioral control over avoiding PES showed the strongest associations with higher PES-use intention. Greater knowledge was associated with lower intention, whereas higher risk acceptance, greater perceived benefits of PES use, and lower self-efficacy to resist PES were associated with higher intention. None of the examined psychosocial variables were significantly associated with the ever\/current PES-use indicator. Qualitative findings emphasized credible information, peer-based support, and preferences for gym-based prevention approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Psychosocial factors were associated with variation in PES-use intentions among recreational gym users. Prevention development may consider social norms, perceived control over avoiding PES, resistance self-efficacy, knowledge, and preferences for credible, context-sensitive information.
