"Declarations Ethics approval and consent to participateThis research study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Junta de Andalucia (ref.:0766-N-21, 4 June 2021). All procedures carried out in our study involving human participants followed the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The study involved human participants, more specifically male prison volunteers. As described previously, all participants provided written, informed consent before completing the questionnaires and none of them refused or were forced to participate. The following relevant points had been identified:- To ensure that participants were informed of the conditions of the research to be conducted.- To ensure that informed consent is granted by the patients.- To ensure data protection.Only Prison staff were responsible for participant recruitment, gathering sociodemographic data (age, educational level, and type of crime) and assigning a number to each participant. Due to the impossibility of the authors being granted access to the units where the prisoners were held, the prison staff were in charge of collecting data related to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All aspects of data collection were carried out within the Provincial Prison of Albolote in Granada, Spain, overseen by the authors of this study. Positive approval was obtained from the corresponding Ethics Committees. At the start of each phase, participants received oral and written information about the study, and each of them provided written, informed consent. All procedures followed the principles of Good Clinical Practice established in the Helsinki International Declaration. Although prisoners are deprived of certain rights during their incarceration, the protection of their fundamental human rights is enshrined in international law. The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights requires that prisoners be treated with humanity and respect, and both prison and health care staff are obliged to ensure that these rights are respected. The Standard Minimum Rules also stipulate that prisoners cannot be detained or forced to participate in studies or receive treatment. Consequently, inmates can only participate in studies voluntarily while in a prison environment, meaning that prisoners cannot be treated against their will.This research was also conducted in accordance with the requirements of Act 31/95 of 8th Nov and Royal Decree 664/1997.
