Declarations
:
: Data for this study are from Project EP144194 of the Direction of Epidemiological and Psychosocial Research, at the Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz National Institute of Psychiatry, which was approved by the Institute’s Research and Ethics Committees. Participant consent in 30 cases was written in front of two witnesses who also signed. In 3 cases it was verbal, audio recorded and in front of two witnesses who signed. This verbal consent was approved by the ethics committee according to the legislation that states, that in minimum risk research projects, as the present one: “the formalization of obtaining consent can have several alternatives: express it clearly verbally or sign a consent form. Verbal acceptance has the characteristic of leaving it up to researcher to provide proof or evidence of acceptance” [CitationRef removed]. In all cases, evidence is the document signed by witnesses and the audio record file.
