Health and drug use in penitentiary institutions in Spain. ESDIP 2022 survey.

The study leads us to conclude that preventive and treatment measures are optimal tools that should continue to be oriented towards the characteristics and profile of this population, which requires a multidisciplinary approach and coordination by the agents and institutions involved. A prison sentence is an opportunity to improve the health of the prison population and to carry out prevention and treatment programs. Work should continue to be done to reduce drug use and the associated risks and problems.
