This document provides methods and materials related to determining whether or not a mammal is receiving a steroid treatment. For example, methods and materials involved in assessing a biological sample (e.g., a urine sample) from a mammal for the presence or absence of a steroid or a steroid metabolite to determine whether or not the mammal is complying with a steroid treatment (e.g., a corticosteroid treatment for an allergic disease or asthma) are provided. |
